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.

The hardware giant of computer industry Hewlett-Packard is now planning to hit the Phone market on a high note with 2 phones. One of the is the HP iPAQ Voice Messenger. This time, HP have teamed up with Vodafone and this phone should be available in the UK and other Vodafone countries later this year.
The HP iPAQ Voice messenger is targetted to compete against the blackberrys as it carries the similar conevtional input mechanism: a keypad rather than a touchscreen. The main interface control is a five-way optical navigation pad. There is an other version of this phone which HP will be launching with a touchscreen: HP iPAQ data Messenger.

The other features that this phone carries are: it has GPS and Google Maps, plus a 30 day trial for a turn-by-turn satellite navigation application. The camera is surprisingly good for a Windows device, being a 3.1 megapixel unit with autofocus and LED flash. There's microSD expandable memory, Bluetooth and a USB connection too.
Now coming to the OS part of it: This HP iPAQ voice Messenger comes with a Windows 6.1 standard edition supporting all the features like browser, office etc...
On a whole, this jampacked smart phone comes with a price tag of approx. 420euros which is worth investing. This is a perfect example for showcasing the power of a windows powered smart phones.
