Well done Ed, should put more of HP competitors news on the front page to show them there are alternatives to the blo@@dy ipaq.

My personal wish that ASUS 730 could have maintained the awesome a620 button and dpads

Well, the A730 has everthing I was waiting for...

Dual Wireless...
Memory ...
Faster Processor ...
Dual Expansion....

However it also has the 2 things I was dreading.

Camera and high price.

Perhaps the Dell is the device for me.

If only it had a bit more memory ....

sojourner753, perhaps you should consider another ASUS product. The A716 sells for $430 and it offers just about everything you want, and no camera. You can upgrade it to 128 MB of RAM for another $159. There's even supposed to be a Windows Mobile SE upgrade coming.

I hadn't considered the A716.
I'm trying to compare it to my 2215 in size but can't find the specs anywhere.

I will definitely add to my list of considerations.

thanks for the tip. It was on time.
