IPAQ rx3715?

Anyone here have this model? I'm thinking of buying one in a few days. The battery life is supposedly excellent, which is the most important factor for me(aside from built-in WiFi, which most PPCs in this price range have anyway).

I did a review of this for bargainPDA last fall. Its solid. A touch sluggish for really complicated tasks, but the battery life is quite plesant. The camera works best in sunlight; nice weight, buttons need work though. I am a palm guy and would consider it if it came with the PalmOS.

Thanks for mentioning your review, Antoine. I just read it and your conclusions seem to confirm my general impression. However, there won't be a WM 5 upgrade for this model, which breaks the deal for me. I'm thinking of buying a hx2410 or hx2750 instead.

Although, I prefer PalmOS for PIM functionality, I find myself using my PDA less and less for PIM. I use it mainly for reading news and listening to audio. Listening to internet radio (which I do a lot) is not really an option on my Zire72 as its battery life is dismal and the WiFi card will drain even more power. Ideally, I'd have a PPC PDA and a PalmOS phone. I can't justify the expense, though.
