HP iPAQ hw6515 Mobile Messenger – Smartphone – GSM – QWERTY ...

-Ipaq uses Windows Mobile

One of the main reasons I chose this phone was that all of the CONs were addressable. I could get around the WiFi problem with a WiFi card for my SD slot and I could upgrade my memory by 1 GB with the mini-SD slot. If I didn’t want a WiFi card, I could have gotten a 4 GB SD card and used the mini-SD for something else. As for the battery, I could buy another one and the GPS software I could buy as well.

COST

I am just going to mention things as they come into my head. I am very happy with this unit. Good sound quality, both on regular and speaker phone. Speaker in moderatley loud. Screen is a bit small, I’d sacrific the tiny, tiny keyboard for a larger screen. The 312 mhz chip is noticably slower than my Dell Axim X5 but not an issue for me. Two very big pluses are built in GPS and TWO memory card slots. I have a GPS navigation system program that I use in my car and it’s works very well. With the two slots, one is used for map data and other programs while the other is still free to add wifi for example. Yep, no wifi but the EDGE system is pretty good considering I am in New York. I surf the net for my business and even with Cingular’s EDGE service, I find that it is equivilent to dial up at best. Battery life is adequate, with standby good for a few days but with the phone on, checking email and surfing the net expect only 3-4 hours. I really love that I don’t have to carry my pda and a seperate phone now, but the holster that they provide is uncomfortable to wear at any angle. A cool thing is that you open the address book in outlook and tap on a number and poof, it starts to dial that contact. The handy flip up plate that covers the screen is a good way to keep facial oil off of the screen so viewing is clear. I bought an extra usb cable so that I can sync with my laptop and charge the phone at the same time, no need to cart around the cradle.

The best about this phone is dual card slots, GPS, flip cover, and keypad. Most new GPS phones in the market now doesnt support SDIO SD card slot, they only support mini SD. Therefore this hw6515 has a great advantage over all other PDA phone. Wifi can be added with the new Spectec mini SD wifi card, which will save you the SDIO slot for adding extra storage or SDIO devices such as radio, scanner, etc.
