HP Taking Orders For iPAQ 3800 Upgrades To Windows Mobile 2003
Posted by Ed Hansberry in "HARDWARE" @ 08:00 AM
Rounding out the list of iPAQs HP is selling upgrades to the new Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC, they are now taking orders for the 3800 models. There are two different CDs, one for the 387x series that has integrated bluetooth and one for all non-bluetooth 3800s. The price is $29.95 plus shipping.
I would think this ROM build would also include all previously released driver updates, with the exception of keyboard drivers and similar items, for the device, so if you get this, make sure that before you put on any 3800 related patches, it is for the 2003 OS.
UPDATE: The upgrade site seems to be having intermittent problems, so if you can't get through, don't panic. Just try back again later.
UPDATE 2: It seems HP is messing with the links. :roll: Either try this page or go to the 2003 update page and select the purchase link. It boggles my mind why companies block direct linking to these sorts of things. It is as if they are thinking you'll get lost in the site (very likely) and will just wind up purchasing the HP 9000 Superdome or something while you are in the maze. :roll:
