Review: HP iPAQ h6300
June 12, 2004 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.
The phone is not yet on the market, but first
reviews are already poping up.
The precursor of this phone
- the iPAQ PDA from Compaq (now overtaken by HP) - was a
PDA that had cult status and was the breakthrough for
Pocket PC platform, so no wonder that now some people
are going bonkers, when they hear that iPAQ cell phone is coming...
The cult status of the precursor, and the extremely strong brand recognition will certainly attribute to huge market success of this Pocket PC phone although we can expect it rather to be succesful in enterprise/corporate market rather than for consumer end users...
If I am not wrong, iPAQ h6300 is the first device integrating four wireless technologies. Besides a traditional infra red port, it offers Bluetooth, WLAN 802.11b and GSM/GPRS. The application that controls all the three important modules is simply perfect - at least one class better than iPAQ Wireless supplied with h4100. Widcomm Bluetooth has also been improved. The GSM/GPRS module offers a configuration unique in the Pocket PC world - quad-band, i.e. support for 850/1900 MHz and 900/1800 MHz. That means you can make a call almost anywhere in the world.
