Haunted vibrator motor

Pros Full featured, works well at first.
Cons Doesn't work after it matures.
Recommended it? No

Love this machine when it works. Unfortunately, it doesn't love me. My first one had a dead spot on the touch sensitive screen. I was sent a refurbished model, which was unable to go wireless upon arrival, so I was sent another refurbished model. This worked well for about a year...just until the... Read full review »

The h5555 is a high maintenance primadonna!

bydld2005 Apr 11, 2005
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Broad features
Cons High-cost maintenance
Recommended it? No

I bought the IPAQ h5555 in mid-March 2004. The end of August, when I was still using the h5555 just lightly, it wouldn't take an AC charge, and under the warranty it went for repair. HP had to virtually rebuild the entire unit's inners. I was warned I could never let the detachable battery drop... Read full review »

Pros Finger print works. Reasonable wifi and blue tooth. It has typical windows ?reliability.
Cons Mostly the side switches break too easy. Battery life is acceptable.
Recommended it? Yes

I have had my h5555 for 1 1/2 years and have had problems with it charging and then it complained about not being able to do something with the pim agent. There was no help in the help file on the pim agent and therefore there was no way to figure out what to fix. The buttons on the side stopped... Read full review »

HP iPAQ H5555 PDA

bymadgravity Jan 9, 2005
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Biometric Fingerprint/Large Screen/Accurate Transcriber/Wireless LAN & Bluetooth
Cons Short Battery Life
Recommended it? Yes

This PDA is absolutely amazing. The biorietric fingerprint feature is truly impressive and accurate. I couldn't ask for more features and user-friendliness in one device. I have just upgraded from the HP iPAQ H4150, which was also a great machine, but is dwarfed in comparison to the H5555. I am the... Read full review »

Pros size, backlight, fast, versatile, entertaining, wireless, internet browsing
Cons battery life on wireless, lack of freeware, screen calibration and contamination
Recommended it? Yes

I have owned this unit a little more than a year.

The reason I like this Pocket PC is that is truly a PC. It is more powerful than my last laptop and more powerful than my second to last desktop.

I can run Excel which is great and I use that a lot.
I can completely... Read full review »

Nice but limited battery life

Cons Battery Life!, intermittent connection problems, lack of voice memo button
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased my H555 about two years ago. I had to replace a stolen IPAQ so I decided to go all out. I use bluetooth at home for remote printing and wireless for internet access so I assumed this would be a perfect fit. And it is for the most part. The only complaints I have are the following:

Perfect Admin

Pros 802.11B WiFi Adapter, Bright Color Screen
Cons Battery, Pocket PC is clunky OS, poor documentation
Recommended it? Yes

I received the HP 5555 as my TAP Replacement (CompUSA's Technical Assurance Program, I don't buy warranties, but I do buy replacement plans) for an older Jornada. I was most interested in the 802.11b interface. Since then I've not let go of my new toy, my job as a Network Admin can be entirely done... Read full review »

Nice idea but no cigar

bytyker Mar 31, 2004

Pros Good design. Easy to use because of Windows format.
Cons One thing after another has gone wrong.
Recommended it? No

My husband purchased my first Compaq IPAQ just over two years ago--thank goodness he also purchased a three year service warranty. After 6 months with machine #1, the battery simply stopped working. I was told the main battery replacements were so expensive they just replaced the machine. This was... Read full review »

Wonderful but slim keyboard driver is awful

1 Helpfuls 2 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros best design and screen is wonderful. Memory and installed programs are quite good
Cons service is awful - they have no answers
Recommended it? Yes

the overall design is great. If you can force it into the landscape format with third party softwear the H5555 is the top. However, I purchased the HP Slim keyboard and it is just awful. They need to revise the driver. You never know if it will work. The keyboard which fits on the bottom of the... Read full review »

Top of the line.

Pros Great battery life. Awesome wireless. Great color display. Nice case.
Cons It will soon be outdated. Screen is much too bright and affects some games.
Recommended it? Yes

This Ipaq is in league with many small laptops by ibm's thinkpad standards. With 128 MB SD-RAM and a 400 mhz processor it's catching up with my win2k machine.

The tech specs are all here, but what about actual usability information.
- This pda can be used a remote control

Cons Finger Print scanner not really useful, No compact flash slot

When I saw that Compaq had merged with HP I was worried. When I saw that Compaq's Ipaq was now made by HP I was scared. But I decided to give it a chance to prove it's self. Boy was I glad I did. The screen quilty is amazing. The back light is very well done. Speed is great. I can run everything... Read full review »

I'm a 23 year old engineering student whose main interest is cars and PDA's, and this is the mother of all PDA's.
