HP iPAQ hw6515 arrives to USA at last October 18, 2005 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. Apparently lack of Windows Mobile 5.0 in this device and thus lack of latest e-mail push technology from Microsoft - hasn't discouraged Cingular ... Now it is official: after several months of sales all over the world outside of USA, now HP iPAQ hw6515 Pocket PC phone is available also in USA at Cingular: information from Cingular follows. * * * * * HP and Cingular Announce Complete Wireless Solution on HP iPAQ Mobile Messenger The HP iPAQ hw6500 series Mobile Messenger HP and Cingular Wireless today announced the HP iPAQ hw6500 series Mobile Messenger, the first Pocket PCs in the United States to use Cingular’s high-speed EDGE network. Beginning on Oct. 31, Cingular will be the sole U.S. carrier for this sleek smart device, which delivers wireless email and an array of applications that offer users access to the digital content and services they need for truly effective global communication and mobile productivity. The HP iPAQ hw6500 series is the first generally available Cingular-enabled device to have an integrated global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver. Cingular will sell two versions of the Mobile Messenger, the hw6515 featuring a 1.3-megapixel camera and the hw6510, which will come without a camera. The HP iPAQ hw6500 series also boasts a unique combination of digital wireless voice and data capabilities, including access to Cingular’s nationwide EDGE network,(1,3,4) built-in keyboard, and Bluetooth wireless technology. Cingular’s EDGE network is the largest and fastest national wireless data network in the United States, with availability in 13,000 cities and towns and along more than 40,000 miles of interstate highways. To help simplify the implementation of wireless solutions, HP and Cingular have collaborated with 14 application providers to create the HP Mobility Solutions Evaluation Center (www.hp.com/go/mobile-evaluation), a one-stop shop for diverse mobility solutions and know-how for notebooks, tablet PC and handheld devices. Customers can visit this online resource to learn about and download trial versions of mobile applications such as mail and messaging, security, navigation and business solutions. The website also includes HP-branded solutions such as Hosted Microsoft Exchange, Open Roaming and HP Navigation System. Together, the HP iPAQ hw6500 series and HP Mobility Solutions Evaluation Center offer customers an easy way to evaluate and implement powerful mobile solutions with less risk by leveraging the experience and market leadership of both HP and Cingular. “HP is simplifying the path for customers who are eager to add mobility to their lives but wary of the complexity and technical challenges,” said Ted Clark, senior vice president and general manager, Mobile Computing Global Business Unit, HP. “Together with Cingular, we are empowering customers to take full advantage of mobility in ways they’ve never experienced before and to change the way they do business and how they connect to information, communication and even entertainment.” At the Microsoft CIO Summit earlier this year, HP and Cingular previewed the HP iPAQ hw6500 and several applications featured in the HP Mobility Solutions Evaluation Center. The response to alternative mail and messaging solutions and the HP iPAQ hw6500 was overwhelming, with more than 60 corporate customers signing up for an early evaluation pilot program. “The introduction of the HP iPAQ hw6510/hw6515 provides business customers with more than just a powerful new device but rather a complete wireless voice and data solution right out of the gate,” said Jeff Bradley, vice president, business data services, Cingular Wireless. “Cingular and HP have developed specifically for the iPAQ 6510/hw6515 an ecosystem of application providers whose services extend from broad-based email to those for specific industries. This, combined with the popular Pocket PC technology platform and the largest and fastest national wireless data network in the country, presents to a broad range of companies a one-stop approach through which they can give their mobile workforces wireless access to critical information and processes.” Treasure chest of mobile solutions Developed with wireless expertise from Cingular, the HP Mobility Solutions Evaluation Center provides customers with access to a premier portfolio of business applications – many available via downloadable, 30-day evaluations at no charge. Cingular’s certification process for business application providers was incorporated into the Mobility Solutions Center for iPAQ 6500 series solutions. Expertise areas include:
