I looks like my iPAQ is properly dead Neutral

plugged it into the computer last night to charge and synch it and it started, what appeared to be a soft reset. It stopped with the progress bar at about 75%, the screen went dark, a single pixel line appeared on the screen and then nothing.

Soft reset, hard reset, removing the battery and leaving it to discharge the internal memory.. nothing.

I liked the rx3715, decent internal memory, SD slot, bluetooth and wifi. Don't need the camera tho.
I used it primarily for checking Email on the move, GPS, and MP3 playback. I was just working out how to convert recorded telly from the mediacenter onto it too.

Any recommendations? Windows based, as that's what my GPS software runs on.

I'm thinking this, since it seems the Siemens SX66 isn't available in the UK.

i personally wouldn't go for that model as its like a house brick in my opinion (and totalpda are who i work for BTW) plus its also a bit expensive.

do you want an all in one PDA/phone?

just out of curiosity plug your iPAQ directly into the mains charger then press and release the reset button loads of times...if nothing happens then leave it charging for about 30 mins then do the same thing again...it shold come back to life and if it doesn't then its probably dead. what model was it?

I'm looking at replacing my ageing iPaq with an all in one PDA/phone

what's your recommendation?

Is the XDA/Ecec any good?

I have an HP5550 up for sale, sounds like you want the PDA only and not the GPS I was selling it with, but someone else on here wants the GPS so if you wanted the HP5550 then I could sell both and you'd both be happy Smile

I still recommend the Dell Axim X51v fully loaded with bluetooth and wireless. Thumbs Up

Or go Blackberry Thumbs Up

Offtopic here, but I bought a reconditioned Axim x30 from TotalPDA a few months back, can't fault the service. Had two issues (battery was dead and the cradle was missing), both sorted inside of two days. I'll certainly be using them again.

Slightly more on topic, I've been impressed by the x30, bought it mainly as a remote for the media system and the x10 setup but it's proven incredibly versatile and a damn sight more powerful than I expected. Plus with a 2gig SD card it's got more than enough space for music and even a film or three (or a series of Black Books Wink

)If the x50 is anywhere near as good then I can't see it being a bad buy. Only thing I find myself wishing for is a higher rez screen and slightly less flakey A2DP support, both of which the x50v has if memory serves (damn Dell for the lack of x30 WM2005 support Confused

).
