For what it's worth, I've only ever seen one HP 50g unit with a faulty LCD (in photos, not in real life) and read about one with bad solder joints.

Given the popularity of the 50g, I think that's pretty good reliability. Nearly all of the other problems I've read about are down to user mistreatment, usually dropping the thing or forgetting it in a drawer with the batteries installed and leaking all over the contacts.
