Reviews

  • HP iPaq Data Messenger

    Though it comes with some business-centric security features, this iPaq falls short when compared with other Windows Mobile devices out there.

  • HP iPAQ Voice Messenger

    The iPAQ Voice Messenger is at best, mediocre. There's nothing here that HTC, BlackBerry or Apple don't already do better, and unless your company already has a great HP contract, it's hard to recommend.

  • HTC Dream

    Google's Android is awesome, but the Dream needs work. Parts of this handset are superb, but its lacklustre design and poor battery life hold it back significantly.

  • HP iPAQ 612c Business Navigator

    HP's latest iPAQ, the 612c Business Navigator, is a solid offering with lots of features and good battery life. It's a bland-looking and giant handset, but good performance and crisp touchscreen somewhat make up for the poor keypad.
