HP iPAQ 510/514 Voice Messenger Review

In February HP presented its new mobile telephone, traditionally using the Windows Mobile operating system. What is not typical about the brand here is that their first WM6 product makes use of the version for devices without touch (Standard) instead of the touch-screen one (Professional).


Though loaded with quite a few features (quad-band GSM/EDGE, WiFi, micro SD, MP camera), the HP iPAQ 500 series Voice Messenger is subject to certain compromises with a view to achieving an affordable price. Typically for the brand, the telephone is offered in the “Series” form rather than as a single model; the 500 series includes the 510 and 514 models – entirely identical, but the first designed for the European market and the latter – for the American one. We will refer to these as “iPAQ” or “iPAQ 500” here for the sake of brevity.
