Quote taken from IT WEEK....
http://www.itweek.co.uk/News/1135091
" HP will introduce a new range of Pocket PC handhelds later this year, including at least one model with integrated wireless LAN (WLAN) capability, the firm said. It will also introduce new smartphone devices to follow its recently introduced Jornada 928, but all future models will be sold under the iPaq brand.
Neil Dagger, HP's UK business manager for iPaq and wireless devices, told IT Week that most of the new products would be available in 2003, but that a device with integrated 802.11b WLAN capability was likely to ship in the final quarter of this year. He said the devices "wouldn't be part of the current H3800 or 3900 iPaq series".
In the run-up to HP's merger with Compaq, there was some uncertainty about which devices would survive the rationalisation of the two product ranges. Compaq's iPaq brand proved the stronger, and most of HP's Jornada range was discontinued, except for the Jornada 928 wireless handheld and the keyboard-based Jornada 728, which will now be the last of the brand.
HP's Jornada 928
"There will be no more Jornadas after the 928," Dagger said. Instead, all future handhelds from the start of 2003 will be known as HP iPaqs, while models to follow the Jornada 928 will be known as iPaq Phones. The 728 would also probably be the last keyboard-based model unless demand grows for such devices, Dagger added.
HP's H3900 series, unveiled in July, were the first iPaq models built around Intel's 400MHz XScale chip and the first to feature integrated Bluetooth wireless capability"
.......................... Therefore i'd just wait for the new range.
Purchase one of these new IPAQs to use with your T68i via Bluetooth and it also seems to work flawlessly. Together these two devices would out perform the P800 in terms of functionality, but the p800 would be good for convience as you will only have to carry one device around.
Hope this helps.
I think they will stop the 928 and starting to sell this insted:

One of those models has GSM/GPRS integrated. Now, that is definitely a better choice for you than a P800 (the IPaq maybe a little wider, but you get a bigger screen because of that
). P800 might be very good as a phone but it is still very very behind IPaq/PocketPC as a PDA.

and ipaq is like 1 cm bigger, and then there is lika a 2,5 cm antenna. mm nice! NOT! hehe

'Now' was a figure of speech. I never said that the IPaq 5000 series was out now, where did you get that from? Anyway, it will be available around the same time when P800 is (that is, unless the P800 is going to be delayed again
).
I believe that the IPaq has a built-in microphone and a speaker so you don't need the headset. And, the IPaq is more than 1cm thinner than the P800 (IPaq=1.5cm, P800=2.7 cm). I'd rather have a little wider device with a bigger and better-quality screen (and a more powerful processor, and more memory, and loads of available software, and ...
) than a thicker device with a toy camera.
But, I guess, if pretty looks of your phone/PDA is more important to you than its usefulness, than go ahead and buy the P800...
Oh, and, good luck getting additional software for it...

i like Ipaq H5000 to, but it is not just wider, itīs bigger! yea, H5000 is thinner, but itīs 1 cm bigger, THEN 2,5 cm more (antenna)!
iīm not saying that p800 is more useful! iīm just saying that ipaq isnīt that much better!
