Upside: When we reviewed the iPaq hw6515, integrated Wi-Fi was one of the things on our wish list. With the HP iPaq hw6900, we're happy to see the company added it to the feature set. Bluetooth and EDGE technologies are also onboard, so you have the full gamut of wireless options. And for globe-trotting execs, good news: The hw6900 is a quad-band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) phone, so you can take it with you overseas. We also welcome the latest Windows Mobile 5 operating system, and since the smart phone runs the Pocket PC Edition, you get the full Mobile Office Suite, including Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, PowerPoint Mobile, and Outlook Mobile. Speaking of which, the hw6900 is positioned to be an e-mail machine, as it's compatible with GoodLink and Microsoft Exchanger Server 2003. Plus, with Microsoft's Messaging and Security Feature Pack, you'll be able to enjoy the joys of push e-mail technology. Oh, and did we mention the full QWERTY keyboard?
Other features on the iPaq hw6900 include a 1.3-megapixel camera with video-recording capabilities (HP will offer a cameraless version), a built-in GPS receiver and navigation software, Windows Media Player 10 Mobile, a 416MHz Intel PXA270 processor, 128MB of flash memory and 64MB of SDRAM, and a speakerphone.
