Performance

With a 520MHz processor and 128MB RAM, the 612 runs pretty smoothly. Video playback was excellent with no jerkiness in our test video. With nothing running in the background, there is about 75MB of free RAM, which gives it lots of leeway for running other applications.

The 612's battery has a large 1,590mAh battery. This gave us about three days on a single charge, without GPS use. If you are using the device for GPS navigation, expect the built-in SiRFstar III chip to deplete the battery much quicker.

Conclusion

The most disappointing thing, we felt, was the decision not to sell the non-camera version everywhere. HP has always had a reputation for being enterprise-savvy, so fans of its products who also work in places with strict camera rules won't be pleased.

While it has a truckload of features, many other devices have them, too. The lack of a customized user interface and additional security software make it seem less attractive than some of the other offerings from companies like HTC, Asus and i-mate.
