HP IPAQ 5455 Review

The HP IPAQ 5455 is a bit of an experiment for HP. The 5455 probably won't appeal to everyone, but it may be just the kind of neato gadget that some folks are looking for.

The IPAQ 5455 has a 240 X 320 color screen, 64 MB of memory, and a slot for an SD card. It's got wireless capabilities with built-in Bluetooth, which sets it apart from the crowd. The 5455 also features biometric fingerprint security.

The HP IPAQ 5455 has gotten pretty good reviews for the most part. But there's not as much feedback available for the 5455 as for some other IPAQ models. Of 38 votes on one web site, 84% recommended the 5455.

Professional Ratings: 8 out of 10 (1 review)

User Ratings: 7.4 out of 10 (39 reviews)

There have been a few complaints about the 5455 locking up and a few units shipping with a bad pixel or two on the screen. But again, this is from only a few users.
