If you have the US version, I believe that only English resources are installed in ROM.

Cradle is the answer. It has both power in and sync cable.

I tried this several times without success but then tried an older rom file (1.10 not 1.11) and changed ENGLISH to GERMANY and ENG to GER in the nbf file and it works fine now

This works! (Ipaq 5550)

Used the ROM file SP27674.exe to upgrade from French to English. This was easy and works 100% like the process describes.

On the HP support site they recommend that you also install the update SP28220.exe.
This isn?t possible anymore. You get an error that the language isn?t correct for this update.

Ok So I downloaded the ROM Update and went to edit the .nbf file, but where is the ENG or English? I cant find it within the file. Please tell me that its right infront of me or that its hidden deep within the file somewhere.

I was wondering it is possible to change the language through a more legitimate method, ie purchasing a new copy of windows or sending it in to be changed, I dont want to void the warranty, and don't mind spending a few extra dollars to do this, I would just like to avoid buying a new IPAQ.

You'd have to call HP tech support and see if they'd sell it to you. My guess is no, but it's worth a phone call to see.
