Another review of HP iPAQ hw6915 Pocket PC phone May 16, 2006 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. HP iPAQ hw6915 is too little too late: it is not on sale yet and probably it will go on sale in summer this year. HP must really be very arrogant or incompetent to release a "new" phone in summer 2006 without support for 3G/UMTS...
Built-in GPS, EDGE support, QWERTY keyboard for single handed usage, faster processor (416 MHz instead of 312 MHz) and Wi-Fi (802.11b only) may however be enough for many people: Those who travel the globe will appreciate the hw6915's quad band GSM radio which works anywhere in the world GSM service is available. Call clarity and volume through the handset are excellent and our call recipients had no idea we were on a mobile phone rather than land line. The iPAQ has extremely good reception, with very strong RF on the 1900MHz band (tested with a T-Mobile SIM) and very good RF on Cingular's 850MHz band. HP has done wonders with internal antennas, as the phone, WiFi and GPS radio reception are all top notch. We were able to get a signal on 1900MHz where other phones failed, and 850MHz reception was on par with the strong GSM phones. To read the review click here.
