HP To Launch Series of Windows Mobile Handsets

Feb 4, 2005, 3:47 PM by (staff)

HP has announced that due to the success of the iPaq 6300 Pocket PC phone, it will roll out an entire line of Windows Mobiles devices during 2005 in a variety of designs and sizes incorporating "several different wireless technologies". The first device will be the Mobile Messenger, a GSM/GPRS/EDGE handset with a thumb keyboard and GoodLink for push email support. The device will also include a GPS receiver. A number of rumors are circulating with what appear to be additional leaked features and photos. They claim the Mobile Messenger will also include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, a 1.3 Megapixel camera with flash, an SD card slot and an additional slot possibly for a miniSD card. If pictures and rumors are correct, this will also be the first Pocket PC device to feature a square screen.

Yours for only 36 payments of 39.99!!!

😳

Ok.
So when will we have to start getting people financed for their phones?
Much of this technology is truly amazing.
Is anyone going to pay 1000.00 for it?
The carrier's insurance won't cover these expensive devices.
Do I have to call AllState to get these insured?
I would be almost scared to buy something like that.
Although... I wouldn't have a problem mugging someone for it. 😈
J/K.
Really.
Put down the mace. 🤣

No doubt that this device will require people to take out a second mortgage on their house. 🤣

hilarious!!!....but very true...I believe that it IS ridiculous that the cell phone carriers will not insure the higher-end (more expensive) handsets. Personally, those are the handsets that I would buy insurance for, I could care less about a 50 dol...

Mugging people for phones is good business, thanks to e-bay. 😎 But really, does anyone want this phone so bad as to forfeit the ability to eat for a couple years? Besides, HP makes horrible products, and all the info on these features are speculat...

I realise that different carriers use different insurance companies... but Asurion covers the phone (up to $1500) and accessories (up to $200).

Nice!

This thing sounds like it has it all and then some! I'm not a huge fan of Windows though. If it's anything like it is on PC's, it's not worth it. Then again, I don't know! Never used a Windows based pocket PC or phone.

Cell_Phone_Man

You're right, it does have everything then more! I'm sure that this device will have a rather high price though.

CDMA Model?

It would be great if they came out with a CDMA model 🙂>.

Why? HP is notorious for making faulty computers and printers that nobody can get parts for. Personally I would rather go with a manufacturer that knows phones, like Samsung. Samsung has some really nice PDA phones available for both Sprint and Ver...

you can purchase the goodlink software for multiple pda-phone platforms.

Also, WM2003 already supports this feature with Exchange 2003.
