Unfornately the memory cards did not work. Talking with tech support they could not determine why the memory cards failed to work. Nexian tech support told me to return the sleeve. I asked if the problem had been reported, and Nexian said that they did not hear of any issues. I have an iPAQ 3635 and Nexian said that one of support tech had the same configuration and found no issues. Tech support thought it was a pin problem, connecting the iPAQ to the sleeve. However, one positive is that the iPAQ did manage to recongize the second battery. That was really nice to have the additional battery.The sleeve is fairly big, and you should expect a larger size since it supports two cf cards and a second battery. I thought the size was acceptable for what it was designed to do. Be careful if you have a case to carry your iPAQ as you will need to buy a new one.
Overall, I would have kept the Nexipak if the cf slots would recognize the memory cards. I did find out Nexian had a recall if you tried to use a wireless nic card. No software drivers are needed to use the sleeve. If the memory cards would have worked I would have rated the product 5 stars. I will have to wait until I get a new sleeve. Tech support did a good job of following up with me, via email and on the phone.
I did a review for the sleeve on PocketPCThoughts.com (search for my name). It's one of the main reasons I upgraded to the 5555, so that I could continue to use this sleeve with the iPAQ.
the only weird issue I've had is using both CF slots at the same time. I'm currenlty using it with slot one containing a 1Gig CF microdrive and tried using it with a D-link wireless card in slot two and the display on the 3850 went weird. haven't had that issue with the 5555 bc the 5555 has built-in wireless/bluetooth.
