Reviews of the HP iPAQ hw6940 Mobile Messenger w/ GPS (AT&T)

CNET Review
The Good: The HP iPaq hw6900 series has integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. This smart phone also offers push e-mail capabilities, document editing and viewing, a full QWERTY keyboard, and a solid talk-time battery life.
The Bad: The buttons of the QWERTY keyboard are small, and the lower-resolution screen pales in comparison with its competitors. The smart phone also ran sluggishly at times, and the speakerphone volume was low.
The Bottom Line: The HP iPaq hw6900 series offers a lot for the road warrior, including GPS functionality, e-mail, and productivity tools, but there are better-designed and faster-performing smart phones out there.

Review Summary: At only $360 with a two-year contract from Cingular, the hw6920 is not a terrible deal, but other phones provide nearly the same features (sans GPS) with far fewer operational problems

Review Summary: HP's PDA phone includes support for many wireless standards but unforgivably lacks a 3G data connection.
