I have an iPaq 3630 PocketPC with 32mb Ram, 16mb Rom for sale. It comes with a USB cradle, two AC chargers, a carrying case, and all the original docs, software and boxes. The unit also comes with a CF Expansion sleeve and a Targus Stowaway keyboard that I purchased separately ($150 value). The Targus keyboard is missing the dongle that allows you to plug in the power while you type (I never needed it and thus lost it). The iPaq is in perfect condition with the exception of the battery. The battery only holds a 2 hour charge now when used on the lowest backlight setting. The good news is the battery costs 50 bucks from a variety of places on-line and can be changed by the user. I have adjusted the price for the unit as such.

I am selling all of this for $215 shipping included. FIRM. This is a great price for a great package!

Am I missing somthing?

The battery is completely user-replaceable. What I've read online is that once opened (you do need a special screwdriver to open the iPaq; I found someone selling the tool [a torx #6 i believe] and the battery for $64) all you must do is remove the cord connecting the old battery to the new one. There is also some low-level adhesive (double sided tape) sticking the old battery to the iPaq.

Look here:

Disregard the information about the hyperdrive chip that must be soldered on. Like the guy says, the installation of the new battery should take two seconds.
