Hope someone can help. I've got a bit of a dillemma, I ordered a 4150 from a store 6 weeks ago and finally lost my rag with them after waiting for so long. It turns out that they haven't got any and aren't likely to get any in stock for a while. They have offered me a 3715 instead which, on the surface seems like a good deal as its more expensive. However is it a comparible replacement, the 3715 seems more of an entertainment and media machine than the business PDA that I actual want and need.

I need the 4150 for its wireless connectivity, bluetooth, office tools handwriting recognition etc. I also want to run TomTom 3 with a bluetooth receiver using a car cradle. Probelm is I can't see anyone advertising these options for the 3715. Should I hold out for the 4150 (or my money back) or take the 3715?

Thanks

...is an older PocketPC and has been discontinued by HP. It only runs the PPC 2002 OS and can not be upgraded to the WM2003 OS...

Sooner Al - I think the poster is referring to the new HP rx3715 not the old Ipaq 3700 series (which I still own - the damn thing won't die). Leave it to HP to confuse people by duplicating series numbers - I guess there aren't enough numbers out there. LOL

By the way I've never known you to be wrong; always had faith in your sig that you were "old enough to know better":D
