i have an iPAQ 1910. i also manage a store that sells them. i haven't heard a single complaint aobut the 1910. the battery is good, and it's super lightweight. i haven't had a single unit returned for any reason. my husband has an iPAQ 5455, and he thinks that mine is a lot faster. i'm biased, but i say go for the 1910. :)
