Drooling over the HP iPAQ hw6510 and hw6515

ipaq 6500 seriesForget the Blackberry, forget the Treo 650, I want one of these babies! The sleek HP iPAQ hw6510 and hw6515 Mobile Messenger is probably the slickest, coolest looking combined PDA/cellphone device today. (wiping my gadget drool as I type this) Everything from surfing the Web, checking email, and yes making calls is just beauteous, eh?

It features an integrated thumbboard, EDGE, Bluetooth and an integrated GPS receiver. Yes, I said GPS! Woohoo! It not only supports GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz and GPRS Class 10, but the hw6515 is also the first Windows Mobile communicator to support EDGE for high speed data transfers. I'm all about the speed baby! (See Viper)

Oh and Cingular Wireless will carry these soon, as seen here: http://www.cingular.com/ipaq. The HP hw6515 may be just enough motivation for me to finally ditch Sprint and go with Cingular after 10 years of loyalty to Sprint.

Check out the specs on the 6500 series.

The Treo 650 has a very loyal following including developers who are continually adding cool applications to the Treo, including media players. A friend of mine owns a Treo 650 and pointed me to a new Treo media player... Read More

Cool phone! I have the Audiovox SMT5600 now which runs Windows Mobile, I'm impressed how nice it is compared to my previous phone, a Treo 650. The only thing I miss now it the thumb-keyboard, which this one has. Cingular is much better than Sprint as well, since they use GSM, I can now have an unlocked phone and switch SIM cards when I go international. This HP is a Quad band, which means it will work in Europe and Asia. I love the Windows Mobile phones with the miniSD cards. With the included headset I can listen to mp3s and watch movies on the plane. People are always amazed that I can watch movies on my phone. PocketDVD Studio does the trick.smile

6515 is awesome! But there is a problem device doesn't interface with standard bluetooth headsets the device calls for a v1.7 when all manufacturers sell 1.1 or v1.2 devices.... It is the devices only folly and I am frantic to find something compliant?? suggestions HELP!!!!
