X51 Vs. HP Ipaq6515 Which to Get? Help!

Just got my x51. Finally figured out how get onto my home wireless network...It is a nice machine, although having my cell phone and this PDA on my belt is quite cumbersom. I am seriously considering returning the x51 and getting the hp6515. All the reviews are good, can still get Wifi with a card, has everything that the x51 gets,(maybe a bit slower), has built in GPS, has a built in camera, all in one system, easy on the belt, price is somewhat comperable (see cingular website)...Can anyone give me reasons to keep the x51 over getting the hp6515? I am serious and it is really killing me. This is my first Pocket PC and I am trying to get "organized" and have everything synched to my PC for contacts, calander, notes and to do things (that I always forget to write down, or lose the slip of paper). So...can anyone please help me with some of your comments and experiences? If this x51 had a phone it would be great!
Thanks!

Well personally, I would not put mt PDA on my belt, I've dropped a number of phones from this location as I've bent down, fortunately the cases they were in have prevented problems, but a PDA would not risk, also do you really want to advertise your PDA in this way ????

In the end it is your own personal choice, both machines have some good features.

I can only suggest you consider what you really want in a list of + and - for both machines.

I can comment on a few differences that you might want to consider.

The HP 6515 compared to the X51

Has a slower processor 312 Mhz versus the X51 at 624
Runs WM2003 ( not se) , the X51 runs a much newer WM5 (no se or WM5 upgrade on the hp ?)
Has a lower resolution screen
Has a smaller screen
Has an SD slot only. ( you could not have a WiFi card and access storage at the same time). Expensive SD WFi cards
Has only 55MB of user accessable memory ( X51 has 198 MB)

To be honest, the only real downsides are
1) WM2003 which is now 2 versions out of date (check to see if an upgrade is possible)
2) Memory expansion possibilities. can be expanded with an SD card, but then your expansion possibility is full, you could not for example use an SD card and WIFi card at the same time
3)SD slot only. This imposes a restriction, their is a greater range of CF cards than SD cards, plus CF cards for expansion seem generally lower in price.

but as I say, at the end the choice is yours, but however you are not comparing like with like... The correct comparison should be an X30 and the Hp6515.
