HP Jornada 928

I'm looking to get an HP Jornada 928 to replace my company XDA when I leave.
Are there any problems with the HP and how does it compare in useability
(the specs are almost identical) ? I would prefer the HP since it has a
compact flash slot as opposed to an SD one and I already have a 256MB card
for my camera. The only gripes I have with the XDA is the phone sometimes
fails to re-aquire a signal, the stubby arial and the occasional lock-up
(the OS I guess ?)

TIA

I have used a HP Jornada 928 extensively, but found it to be a bit
buggy in the phone part (missing calls, losing connection in calls).

Plus officially discontinued by HP in the UK at least.

Which is why it can be had pretty cheap (last stock) compared to the
original price from etailers as Expansys.

I'm not disputing that, just wanted to point it out ;-)

Thanks for the comments. I won't be using the phone much, so I reckon I can
put up with the it being a bit flaky.

It worked for me for the data connections good enough. One thing I
should not forget to remind you: do not install ROM updates that
aren't meant for the TI OMAP processor. I once did an EUU update that
killed Windows Media Player. So if you're getting this device, make
sure you device is supported before you apply the update. That should
mostly mean system files. I didn't encounter incompatibility issues
with regular programs when installing software compiled for ARM
processors.
