tyker's Full Review: Hewlett Packard iPAQ h5555 Pocket PC
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 the HP5555. I hoped that HP would help Compaq work out some of the quirks (i.e. short battery life.) Unfortunately, the main battery drained on this one as well; it also had very loose function buttons that popped out of their slots. Third machine, I noticed a purple hue on the monitor. It would also spontaneously turn itself off every time I tried to turn it on. Fourth, its main battery died after I had not charged it for two days. I called in technical support and their comment was, "Oh yeah, these are great machines, but they have so many problems." I only wish I had known that before losing my midterm notes. For $650.00, I would expect a machine with much more quality control. I'd like to stay in the Pocket PC format...maybe I'll try a Toshiba.
