Potentially a very useful device for those needing convenient navigation functionality, its limited battery life and lack of Wi-Fi are serious drawbacks.

HP’s iPAQ hw6515 Mobile Messenger is potentially a very useful device for mobile professionals, particularly those needing convenient navigation functionality. But its limited battery life and lack of Wi-Fi are serious drawbacks.

The HP iPaq hw6515 offers great tools for the mobile professional, but its poky performance keeps it from achieving smart-phone greatness.

Box contents include: cradle, hw6515, belt clip, stereo earbuds, charger, manuals, and navigation and driver CD. The first thing you notice after opening the package is the comfort in holding the device and its design. It feels a lot smaller and comfortable than it looks in pictures.

The hw6515 is slightly larger and has more weight than the Blackberry, but packs more features. I have a little problem with the fact that manufactures still make Pocket PCs with only 64MB. Indeed, you can still work with 64MB, but why not getting the best technology one can get? Probably, battery and money were factors here. The processor is a 312MHZ from Texas instruments. The processor didn’t cause any problem and the device worked flawlessly and fast.

When news of the hw6515 emerged with accompanying specs, we were wondering about this whole square screen idea. The square screen was created in order to save place for the integrated keyboard.

But is it useful? Do you want to try and see how your device will look like with square screen? Cover the bottom part of your screen (on a regular VGA/QVGA device) so a perfect square will remain. Try even arranging your today screen according to this new square screen and see if you can get use to that.

The graphics are not relatively compressed, but it stays the same (not like the JAM for example which the graphics are reduced relative to the small screen). On the hw6515, the icons will remain at their same size, the font will stay at the same size, etc. This way, fewer icons will have room in this new screen.
