hp ipaq h5550 (or h5555) pda - your opinions

[Ximensions]

Hi

What are your thoughts on this pda? It looks pretty slick. Anyone have it? What are your reviews?

I need to get a pda so I can read ebooks, browse the web, email, make quick notes, shopping list and ocassionally start playing games during lectures. I think it's suited to that kind of thing, which is why I'm thinking of getting it? Would anyone advise me of getting other pdas? The Toshiba e800 looks good too. I've decided not to go with palm os since it is apparently deficient in multi-tasking, among other things. I have heard that it's very powerful, yet simple and intuitive though.

If i were to choose one...Ill go for the e800 all the way...it is newer than the h5555 and it has a vga screen (which is very handy for webviewing).The downside is the e800 doesnt have bluetooth support but can be corected with an additional blutooth cf card...the processor of the e800 is also better than the h5555 by way (e800 has the intel xscale pxa263 and the h5555 has the pxa255) the pxa263 processor has a superb overclocking capability and ive heard than it can be overclocked to as fast as 900mhz (the default clock is 400mhz but has a massive fsb compared to the pxa 255) !the pxa255 is basically the same as the old pxa250 except for an increased fsb and bug fixes...the dimension of the e800 is also relatively smaller even though the screen size is .5 inch bigger...I think the e800 is more expensive though even though it looks cheap with the plactic body ....
