Review of HP iPAQ Pocket PC H5550 by

taken from ciao.co.uk
Advantages Fast and has Bluetooth capability Disadvantages few software issues.
...The iPaq 5550 and 5555, are essentially the same unit, and differ only in software bundle, location of sale, internal tracking. It has an integrated Bluetooth and Wifi provide the necessary backbone of connectivity that is essential in the corporate and personal space. It is also backward compatible with "old" expansion jackets.
This PDA has a cradle made up of light plastic; there is a DC jack on the rear and a non-removable cable that ends in both USB and serial connectors.

The manual is quite thorough and covers pretty much everything you'd need to know about the PDA including illustrations.
