Summary: Buggy software dooms this product...
Comment: I'm returning this product after 5 days of struggling to get MS ActiveSync 4.1 to function correctly.
Apparently a number of people are finding that this version of ActiveSync, which is required for new MS Windows Mobile 5 OS devices like the rx1950, can not maintain USB sync connections. Microsoft attributes this to firewall issues, despite conflicting reports from many users posting to PDA user groups [I know firewall was not the problem in my case, as well]. The other 'helpful' solution Microsoft offers for this problem is to use Bluetooth for ActiveSync. But this unit does not feature Bluetooth.
One could potentially use a LAN sync through the WiFi connection this iPAQ features - - - but Microsoft disabled LAN syncronization with ActiveSync 4.1.
I've owned 4 Palm OS devices - this was my first (and last) venture into Pocket PC territory. If a device can't do the basics - maintain a schedule and phone book - then I don't care how pretty it looks.

Summary: HP iPAQ RX1955 Keeps dropping the network! AVOID!
Comment: Bought this HP iPAQ RX1955 Pocket PC for my wife around Thanksgiving 2005 as a replacement for her Handspring Visor Edge which had served her faithfully for around five years.
We set it up to sync up with her desktop using the wireless network throughout the very-large, Midwestern school district she works for. It worked really slick; when she received an e-mail on her desktop in her office in the School District's administrative offices, it would also be replicated on her IPAQ. This lasted for about a day, then "the problem" began. It is forever dropping its connection to the wireless network and she has to call the districts IT weenies to fix it every time this happens.
She finally called HP customer support but guess what? They said it was a "software issue" and after 90 days it was out of warranty. They did offer to charge her $49.50 for unlimited telephone support for the next 90 days but no guarantees of fixing it (what a joke).
So I would give this product a "0 Star" rating if it was an option. My advice is avoid this product until they get the bugs worked out of it.

Summary: Road Warrior - Business User
Comment: Having read all of the reviews, etc I purchased a Palm TX - junk that was promptly returned (see review there). Despite the reviews here I have had great success with pocket pc devices & this unit had everything I needed. After almost a month I will not part with this device! Initially I had to download and update the unit which was a painless experience. Outlook synch's flawlessly and unlike the TX mail set-up and use is easy. WiFi works great and has better reception than the TX, connects faster and the connection is more reliable. The TX "soft re-set" several times a day and took forever to get going again - the re-sets seemed to be more frequent when I used the web browser. Not a problem with the 1955. Not a single re-set. There is the wierd windows thing where you have to shut down running programs every so often(Start-Settings-System-Memory-Running Programs-Stop All)but you get used to that pretty quick!
For business use the memory is sufficient & the processer is pretty fast. The Office functions work great including running some pretty complex calculations in Excell. Again unlike the TX - which has documents to go.
Memory card issue was apparently taken care of with the firmware upgrade as I haven't had aproblem with it & I use it to store documents, pictures, etc.
I don't use the media functions aside from viewing work photos so I can't speak to the complaints there.
For business users I have found it flawless, sleek, attention getting and very functional.

Summary: Nice Features, But LOTS of Bugs!
Comment: I "upgraded" to the rx1950 after being very satisfied with the earlier rz1715, which used Windows Mobile 2003. The rx1950 uses Windows Mobile 5.0, which I now realize has many bugs that have yet to be worked out. The problems mentioned by other reviewers- they are REAL! After spending HOURS on the phone with HP technical service and performing multiple software upgrades and hard resets, some of the problems seem to be fixed, but others persist. One in particular- the unit will not effectively sync with my desktop Windows Media Player. Licensed media files will not play. I'm very disappointed that HP released a product with so many faults.
