HP’s New Windows Mobile 6.5 Phone ~ HP iPaq Glisten

[editor]

The HP iPaq Glisten is the most basic, barebones Windows Mobile 6.5 device you could imagine, with almost no extra software or convenient tweaks to improve the user experience.

Business users will enjoy the tight integration with Microsoft Exchange and the solid build quality. The phone also packs a large battery and can hold a charge through a busy day's use. Plus, the keyboard is nice and large for easy typing, definitely a solid competitor to RIM's BlackBerry Bold 9700.

But beyond the basic business features, the phone comes up short. As more business users rely on a single device for their work and personal lives, the HP iPaq Glisten performs poorly at Web browsing, multimedia functions, taking pictures and just about anything other than serious work.

Release: December 2009. Price: $180.
