HP iPAQ Data Messenger

The second phone that the HP is coming up in next couple of months is the all new HP iPAQ Data Messenger which is a touchscreen device that takes all of the features of the Voice Messenger and then adds a larger display and a QWERTY keyboard. This is for all those who dont like the traditional QWERTY keyboard (BlackBerry style).
Still featuring high-speed 3.5G downloads and uploads, GPS, WiFi and a 3.1 megapixel camera, this iPAQ model comes with a large 2.8" 320 x 240 pixel touchscreen display, plus a pretty conventional looking slide-out keyboard. The display is a 320 x 240 pixel panel, which is not really up to the mark as expected but is kind of good. The iPAQ Data Messenger's tri-band HSDPA and HSUPA data support impress as of its twin brother, the HP iPAQ Voice messenger. The Data Messenger is definately bigger and heavier than the Voice Messenger at 160 grams in weight and 114 x 57 x 17mm in size, but for a touchscreen device like this it's pretty reasonable.
The expected price for this sim-free phone is around 500Euros and should be available in a month.
On a whole, a very well crafted smartphone which is worth taking a look at.
