HP iPAQ hw6915 Reviewed at Mobile Tech Review
Posted by Darius Wey in "ARTICLE" @ 09:00 AM
"When the HP iPAQ hw6515 came out last year, it wasn't the lack of features but rather the already one generation old operating system and lower resolution display that prevented it from becoming the smash hit the competing Palm OS Treo 650 already was and the Cingular 8125 / T-Mobile MDA would become (though all lacked the HP's GPS). HP has mended their ways with the thoroughly modern Windows Mobile 5 iPAQ hw6915, though the 240 x 240 square resolution remains unchanged. We can forgive HP for the resolution since Windows Mobile doesn't support 320 x 320 pixels and the form factor with front-facing keyboard requires a square display, lest the device become ungainly. Third party software support for that resolution was another thorn in the iPAQ's side. Happily, in the many months since the 6515 came out, the 240 x 240 resolution Windows Mobile Treo 700w has come out and between the two, 3rd party software developers had good reason to update their apps to support the square screen."
The folks at Mobile Tech Review recently gave HP's latest iPAQ Mobile Messenger a spin and thought it was worth 4.5 out of 5. If you've been eyeballing this all-in-one quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth-equipped device, then be sure to give this review a read.
