    Which PDA?

    Looking at either an HP5550 or the HP4150..

    The 5550 has more memory than the 4150 but the 4150 has IrDA..

    Does anyone have either of these PDA's, is the 5550 really worth the extra £££?

    Also looking at GPS for the PDA, either Navmans 4410BT unit or the 3450 Jacket style units...

    Anyone got any gen on any of this stuff?

    Has supplier, software, hardware and mount reviews. Well worth a look. I use an amplified mount as most PDA's have arse speakers.

    I own a h5555... US version of 5550, exact same thing really. Imported it to Sweden last summer. It's truly great, 128MB memory built-in has some value even with an expantion card.

    The 5550 has IrDA aswell. And don't forget the fingerprint login, it's mostly an extra toy, but I must say quite handy in many situations if you want to protect your pda so not anyone can use it.

    The 4150 carries a lower price though as I've understood it so might be a better buy. All I know is that the h5550 is a really great PDA.

    Good Luck with your buy Trig, I believe you'll be satisfied ether way

    4150 is a much slimmer product, makes it nicer to use

    I must say the 5550 isn't too big ether really... It's easy to carry around and you get a good grip around it.

    Though I guess a smaller size wouldn't be negative atleast
