HP magical mobility launch



It's a tough world out there, but this angel has a little help with HP's latest PDA-phones.
Handhelds
Continuing with the convergent device philosophy, the latest addition to the iPaq series, the rw6800 and hw6900 models, are PDA-phones phones based on the latest Microsoft Mobile 5.0 operating system. The former is marketed as a multimedia messenger with dual stereo speakers, integrated FM radio, a 2-megapixel camera, Philips LifeVibes Sound Ex for high-quality audio and a 2.7-inch LCD screen. A triband phone, it can connect to GSM 900/1800/1900 mobile phone networks as well as Wi-Fi, infrared and Bluetooth. It comes in two flavors: The rw6818 in white, and the Wi-Fi-enabled rw6828 in grey. Two colored flip covers are bundled in the standard package, with three color options available in all.

For those who travel frequently, the iPaq hw6900 mobile messenger is a quadband phone which allows it to be used with all existing GSM networks. It also comes with an integrated GPS receiver. By triangulating satellite data, the GPS can pinpoint your current location anywhere in the world without an additional subscription fee (though you may have to purchase maps for your area).
