General Comments
I bought this HP iPAQ H5450 to use as part of a mobile office (don't laugh) I use it with the HP foldable keyboard and a battery operated HP450 CBi printer.
It has been worth its weight in gold (which is a shame because it's not very heavy!). I use the bluetooth connection with my mobile phone and I have a fully functioning office which fits in a briefcase with enough space for my sandwiches as well!
The only gripe is that the connection during the "active sync" with my PC can be a little temperamental, but this may be a duff connection on my PC which is getting on a bit.
I wouldn't bother about using the fingerprint recognition though as it seems a little over the top. I carry the IPAQ in my jacket pocket with the printer in my briefcase - if it gets snatched I only lose a printer and not the whole office.
