What about a forum for the ipaq hx4700? I know that this website is for HTC PDAs but, the hx4700 was also called the Roadster in some markets and made by HTC. Considering that there's a thread over in the upgrading section with 595,000 views and almost 2000 posts on the hx4700 (and that's just one thread) I think there would be a strong interest in a dedicated forum. Many of the posts are from newbies and not by developers but we do have Kozhura and Menneisyys and many other dev types who have posted quite alot about this device in the past, with Kozhura now on his 4th version of WM6. There seems to be a big following for this device even now with a kitchen having been adapted by vivi to suit it. It would be great to have our own corner somewhere on this wonderful site for our community.
Thank you for the consideration.

Based on what I was able to see this had a 2003 rom and came out in 2004.
We have added a lot of forums for the new devices and I am not sure if there will be enough users to justify a section a few years late.

That is true, however HP did do a (poor) WM5 upgrade and there are at least two unofficial WM6 ROMs. The hx4700 was ahead of its time and still powerful compared to many on the market today; probably because it doesn't have an inbuilt phone.

There is this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325727) which is nearly up to 2,000 posts; many of the smart phone forums on XDA developers have nowhere near as many posts in total.

If there was a forum just for the hx4700, then maybe that would entice other hx4700 owners to join up to talk things other than just the ROMs.

I bet there are a few super users that would be happy to moderate a dedicated kx4700 forum too?

You guys don't give up do you ?

OK I admit you do have a valid point. I will put it forward to the sysadmin for a section under

Other HTC manufactured phones

Thanks again for the consideration. :) It is an old device but I think there's quite a bit of interest in it.

bumpedy bump.....

there are loads of russian language forums but none in english AFAIK.
The hx4700 rocks - nothing comes close for screen size / use IMO.

Hi, on my hx4700 (alkor wm6.1) when I paired my bluetooth audiphones, it`s fine,just if it is like new, no progrmas, but whe I charge some progrmas, I can`t connect the devices, there are no way to use it.
Just when the ipaq is just hard reseted. Anybody know what happen?
