Maybe the best way would be to tell me bad things about them. as there is loads of good things.

Hmm bad things about both of the leading PDA's. The 2210's only real weakness that i know about is the Bluetooth is not as strong as the rest of PDA's. I however prefer the size of the 2210 compared to the 5550 and the fact you have both SD and CF. TBH its a hard choice, if you dont need WIFI i would go for the 2210 but if you need 128mb go for the 5550.

DOH i cant make up my own mind what i would go for.

what do you mean that the bluetooth is not as strong?
do you mean it only has a range of 5 m or 50% of the units don't work?

The Bluetooth siganl seems to be weaker than that 5550 it can loose conneciton at a closer range than the 5550.

It wont have a problem close range it is with distance the signal starts to drop.
