Well, it's official! The iPAQ hx2000 series is now available in Europe. Interestingly, there has been no sign of its release on HP's U.S. website as of yet.
The hx2000 series comes in three flavours: the low-end hx2110, the mid-range hx2410, and the high-end hx2750. All three units are armed with a QVGA 240x320 screen and run Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition. They operate on Intel's Bulverde PXA270 processor, and they are all fitted with an SD slot.
The low-end hx2110 model has a clock speed of 312MHz with 128MB memory (64MB ROM and 64MB SDRAM), and 88MB of this is usable. This includes a 31MB iPAQ File Store. It is priced at £275.
The mid-range hx2410 features a healthy 520MHz clock speed, with the same memory configuration as the hx2110. However, it also includes integrated 802.11b wireless, and a 1440 mAh battery (a 2880 mAh battery can be purchased as an optional accessory). This one's priced at £285.
Finally, the high-end hx2750 takes it one step further, and is armed with a 624MHz processor, and also a greater amount of memory – 256MB (128MB ROM and 128MB SDRAM). Up to 214MB of this is usable (with an abundant 93MB iPAQ File Store). It features the integrated biometric fingerprint reader technology that was present in the h5550 series. Alongside that, the integrated 802.11b wireless functionality is present, and it is priced at £351.
All models also have integrated Bluetooth 1.2, and weigh in at approximately 164.4g. Is anybody interested in making this their next Pocket PC purchase?
