PC Magazine Previews the HP hw6515

"Seemingly custom-built for business travelers, the HP iPAQ hw6515 ($450 with two-year service contract) will tell you where you're going and who wants you to get there, with its excellent push e-mail and GPS functions. Unfortunately, bugs and incompatibilities with some Pocket PC software plagued our preproduction unit and left us troubled."
That's an ominous to start a preview, but they do conclude on a somewhat higher note. Take a look at their impressions and let us know what you think. While there are arguably several more compelling devices on the horizon (especially overseas), I can tell you that from a corporate perspective, the competition will likely be limited to just a few mainstream devices: this HP Messenger line, the Treo, and the RIM Blackberry. Do you see a different device threatening these three?
