What's the difference between these PDA's?!?

Ok, I'm confused. Here are the specifications for the Compaq iPAQ H3850:

And here are the specifications for the H3835:

They look and sound identical, don't they? Are their ANY differences between these two models? A software bundle, perhaps? Maybe a different carrying case? Why would Compaq make two IDENTICAL PDA's, and give them different model numbers?

Yes, they are identical. The 3835 is the model sold in retail stores (like Best Buy) while the 3850 is sold directly on the internet through online stores. They have been using this numbering schemes since they introduced the iPAQ.
