I have had this IPAQ for several years now and it has more than served its purpose for me. Just recently however I wanted to add more memory to it and went to Staples to buy a 4 GIG SDHC. When I inserted the card into the unit,it still had the same amount of memory as before. (You can check this by clicking on SETTINGS/System/Memory and then click on STORAGE CARD.) So I called up HP and after they checked their records, they told me that that this unit can only take up to 512MB !! I was then put thru to their parts department and asked if they even made 512MB SD cards anymore. They said no they didn't, but that it could be specially ordered for only $228!! For that amount of money I could easily buy another unit, forget the card. I couldn't believe it. So I researched online and found a user who was using a 4 GIG SD card in his IPAQ 4150 with no problems. I read that since the Windows Mobile 2003 runs with FAT32, there should be no reason why it can't handle SD cards with 2 gig,4 gig, etc., when you need that extra memory. The only difference was that you have to use a NON SDHC card. The HC stands for High capacity which uses a different architecture. So, you have to use the standard 4 GIG SD card without the HC on the label. I ran back to Staples and found a 2 GIG standard SD card from SanDisk (they didn't have the higher 4 GIG on the shelf or I would've bought that one) for only $14.99 plus tax and when I inserted the card in the unit, it showed the increase in memory just fine! I wanted to pass this along so that you don't get discouraged when you need that extra amount of memory and are told that it can't be done. I'm still cringing at the thought of buying only 512 MB of memory for $228! It's unbelievable what people will try to con you into. In any case, this has nothing to do with the unit itself. I am now a very happy camper indeed!

Buy HP iPAQ 4150 Pocket PC Now

What can I say, I love my little iPaq. I've owned mine for several years now and never had a problem with it. There are a lot of things I like about it: It's small and sexy; It has a headphone jack; It's got replacable batteries; It has flexible storage with SD cards; It's got a bright and very readable screen.

It may not have all the latest and "greatest" features, but it's definitely good at what it does. Beyond the standard personal information manager stuff (which can be a TON of help), I've used it for everything from an mp3 player to a guitar tuner. Bottom line: I've found it to be good value for my money. In fact, it's still selling at what I bought it for!

Note: If you prefer typing to writing, I definitely recommend picking up the Stowaway XT keyboard to go with this.

This is the best PDA for the price that I've found. It has wifi, bluetooth, plays music, Word, Excel, calender, email, voice recorder, what more do you want?

The only weakness I've found is that the backup battery tends to fail over time however it can be replaced and there is a youtube video showing how.

I highly recommend this PDA.

there are no other with the size of the 4150, it fits right on any pocket size. More, it is faster than new ones (f.ex. i compared side-by-side with Dellx51v and he was faster using all softwares, no doubt, althouth he has a slower clock). HP really did one of the best pdas ever exist when they produce the 4150 ..... years ago. For ever one who are looking PDA 2006 : IPAQ 4150 !

I bought this pocket pc used to use as an e-reader since the price didn't even compare to some of the e-readers available now. It also works great for listening to music and watching movies on the Windows Media Player. This device comes with wi-fi which is great for checking your e-mail and sending IMs where ever a hot spot is available without having to pay a monthly fee. And of course it works great for remembering important dates.
