Where to Buy iPAQ in US

Does anyone know if HP still sells iPAQs through retail outlets in the US?
I can't find one anywhere. HP keeps steering me to
http://hp.via.infonow.net/usconsumer/, but from the looks of this the iPAQ
is not sold at brick & mortar establishments. I can't get an official
confirmation on that, though.

Thanks.

In their infinite wisdom they are only sold through cell phone stores.
The same cell phone stores that tell you to pound sand if
you don't like the device they dein to provide for you.

Also the same cell phone stores who wouldn't know a smart phone
if it fell on their head.

They are GSM phones requiring SIM cards. In the US this limits you to
T-Mobile and AT&T primarily. Neither has given me any trouble with any
unlocked phone I have shoved a SIM into. If you want Verizon or Sprint, you
are out of luck with HP phones...or more accurately, phone, at this point.

The 510 being the only one currently sold by HP. Oh wait, they have
refurbished 6945s in the outlet store.

Which IPAQ ? Could someone provide the pros and cons between the 2215 and the 5550 apart from price ? Don't know which one to get. Is there a URL that compares the two ? -- Cheers, Slattery (H0llyw00d H0gan). Running on The Internet Group at 56k.

ipaq 211 or 111 or 110 So does anyone own one of these machines and could you tell us how you like them. I am assuming the 111 and 110 are the same? The price differs (tiger direct). Thanks in advance for any and all help

ipaq 210 vs 211 Can someone shed some light here. Pretty confusing ... seems like the specs are iden. Read the 211 had no CF slot, but HP site says it does. I wonder why they need two so similar items, with no explanation that I can find. CDW offers them both, slightl

IPAQ 111 Any one using the new IPAQ 111? How is it ? TIA

IPAQ 200 series So where are they?
