HP has announced an agreement with Vodafone in Europe to resell the HP iPAQ Voice Messenger and the HP iPAQ Data Messenger, starting in the UK, with other European countries to be announced.
The HP iPAQ Voice Messenger and HP iPAQ Data Messenger are the latest additions to the HP smartphone portfolio, and both support Windows Mobile 6.1. The HP iPAQ Voice Messenger is a 3G smartphone with an integrated 20-key keypad. The HP iPAQ Data Messenger is a 3G smartphone with a large touchscreen display, full slide-out alphanumeric keyboard and built-in GPS capabilities.
HP is taking mobile computing beyond borders and boundaries to something truly global as a result of our relationship with Vodafone,” said David Wright, vice president and general manager, Personal Systems Group, HP UK&I. “Our new HP iPAQs will enable people to stay connected seamlessly on Vodafone’s high speed networks to the information, content and people that matter most to them.”
Both smartphones feature a unique five-way optical navigation button that provides a “gliding” sensation when scrolling through menus, and intelligent predictive text capabilities that learn user’s vocabulary and style from messages and emails for progressively faster and easier message composition.
Both devices feature ample memory to access important Microsoft Office Mobile files and store photos and music with up to 8 gigabytes of micro secure digital (SD) storage.
Will this be better than the iPhone? Well, I guess we just have to see. Pricing will be announced it November, so if HP really want to compete with Apple then they should have a similar price.
