It seems to me that once the GSM/GPRS Wireless Pack software gets updated to work (properly) with the iPAQ H5450, that will be the ultimate PDA for the time being. The H5550 has Windows Mobile 2003 and thus will not work with the GSM/GPRS Expansion Pack. However in combination with the H5450, you will have WiFi, Bluetooth, GSM cell phone, GPRS internet, GSM-CSD internet, SDIO, Universal Infrared remote, 48MB ROM, 64MB RAM, 400Mhz Xscale CPU, Transflective screen, removable batteries, and a biometric fingerprint scanner all in one device! The only thing missing is a digital camera and GPS reciever… and of course, better software to integrate everything.
