HP hw6XXX Series Review.

finally! a review of the HP hw6XXX series phone/pda convergence devices. i've been waiting for these devices for a long time... and very very very patiently waiting as the release date ever so slowly approaches (and it gets moved farther and farther into the future...)



so anyway... after the review... i'm kinda disappointed. so close. so close.

in general :

What's positive:
Small size; integrated thumbboard; EDGE; seamlessly integrated GPS

What's negative:
Poor thumbboard responsiveness; limited battery life; mediocre camera

and a score of "76%". man... i was hoping for a knock out on this device.

granted this review specifically referred to the hw6515... the one without WiFi... and the one shipping with Windows Mobile 2003 vs. 5.0/Magneto. and technically it was the hw6715 (which includes both those items) that i truly would want and would wait for. which is still rumored to be released around January 2006. yikes. the hw6515 is rumored to be rereleased around the same time with Windows Mobile 5.0 as well.
