Which one for $100? H2215 or H5555?

[mrbean1957]

I've got a chance to buy either on of these locally for $100. I can't decide which to buy, to me the H5555 seems like a power house... It's slightly used. However the H2215 is virtually new. Any ideas or suggestions?

2215. It has both cf and sd slot. 5555 needs expansion sleeve for memory card. It may be difficult to find one and of course add to the cost of the unit and make the 5555 bigger and bulkier.

Keep in mind that these models are very old, even though it is virtually new, you may run into many hardware problems which may add to the cost of the units.

I like the idea that the 5555 has the built in wifi. The memory won't be much of a issue with this one, just a fun thing to use at the library and a few other hotspots. That was my thinking on the 5555.

Well I bought the H5555. The guy threw in a 1gb card, the micro SD type. I can't believe how small they are. A KILLER metal case with two slots for the SD cards. And 2 DVD'rs full of software that I can't access as I don't have a DVD drive on my Dell. Contact me if you want to do a deal on this, I'll supply the CDR's if you will do the transfer for me. He says there's LOTs of stuff on them. Anyway, I got the Bluetooth working right off! I just can't figure out how to get my email via the desktop. YES I have dial-up... DSL isn't available here yet. Any help is appreciated.
