5 out of 5 stars can't live with out my IPAQ   November 15, 2007
I am formerly a Palm user, and can't get enough of the IPAQ. I use this multiple times a day (every day) and have never been disapointed.


5 out of 5 stars I'm surprised by the problems   September 22, 2006
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I've had my 4155 for almost 3 years and am shocked by the screen problems people have commented on here. I've never had any issue with the lcd and have dropped my unit multiple times (this is an understatement since I'm a clutz). It is carried with me and used often thoughout the day. I have no issues with the wifi and really have no complaints. I have not been cautious with the touchscreen and it is scratched in places (different from the lcd breaking) so I would advise anyone who is buying one to use a good screen protector from the beginning. Also, don't let the battery die because it will hard reset and you'll have to put all your programs back on. Best to back it up weekly or so using the backup utility it comes with and putting the backup on a storage card. Good luck with your purchase!


4 out of 5 stars Great Balance of Size and Features   August 15, 2005
 6 out of 6 found this review helpful

I have owned the iPAQ 4155 for 11 months now (after replacing a 3600 series) and have used it every day since. I can say that it has met or exceeded my expectations in nearly every way. The battery life exceeds 3 days of normal use for me (I haven't seen the battery below about 40 percent even after 3+ days of no charging). The wireless is fairly easy to setup to get on the internet, although I have not found this feature as useful as I thought. More complex wireless operations, like setting up a virtual desktop, are not as straight forward and the entire wireless configuration - asking weather a wireless connection is for "work" or "the internet" - could be simplified (what if it is both?) and have some bugs removed. That being said, I have rarely found the desire/need to get onto a wireless connection once the newness wore off. This may be different if you spend a lot of time at the airport, Starbucks, or other places w/wireless access. The LCD screen is bright and highly visible even in relatively bright light. I have not had a single problem with the LCD screen cracking (and I have owned at least 8 iPAQ's for employees) but I have been careful to protect mine with a metal case such as the one from Innopocket. (The included case does not go too far towards protecting the iPAQ.) Some sort of protective case is vital if you plan to take your iPAQ anywhere at all because the screen is fragile and leaning up against something with it in your pocket will surely crack it if it is not protected. (I have been surprised at the scratches, dings, and warping I have done to the metal case after walking around a jobsite for an hour with my iPAQ in my pocket - but NO damage to the device itself.) One final note: I have not had very much luck at all with "travel sync/chargers" I have purchased which intend to sync and charge the device simultaneously via USB. I have gone back to syncing via infrared (which is pretty straightforward) and charging with the supplied AC charger.

I give the iPAQ 4 stars only because the wireless is somewhat problematic (I have had to "reset" it a number of times), otherwise I would give it 5. -- It really deserves 4.5 but that is not an option.



1 out of 5 stars lcd cracked   July 22, 2005
 1 out of 14 found this review helpful

I advise you don't buy this model. I was given one by my company. I used it briefly, then carefully placed it in it's case in my desk drawer.

After a few months I decided to start using it again, but found that the LCD screen (under the glass) had multiple cracks all over it.
I could hardly believe my eyes since I had put it away specifically to prevent it getting broken, and somehow it broke on it's own!?



1 out of 5 stars Screen cracked twice for no reason   July 18, 2005
 2 out of 10 found this review helpful

I found it cracked one day. No drops, no nothing. Like a fool I got it repaired only to see it crack again in a different location a few months later.

The first time it was the outer glass layer craking from the upper corner. Second time it was a horizontal crack in the LCD layer. Now it's trash.

They made it small, but not sturdy enough. It flexes in your pocket even in a case. Stay totally away from this and live happier for it.
