HP has recently revealed its new consumer-minded smartphone entrants which have made their way to the company’s official website, without much fanfare. These two new versions are iPAQ Data Messenger and iPAQ Voice Messenger, both devices being equipped with Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard Edition. They have been granted dedicated sites, complete with imagery, specifications and recommended accessories.



The iPAQ Data Messenger has a large touchscreen display, a full side-out alphanumeric keyboard and GPS and gives a new style to your mobile messaging experience. Therefore, this beautiful 3G smartphone helps you communicate with confidence and distinction. There is a 2.81-inch transmissive TFT touchscreen display with 65 k colors, a resolution of 320 x 240 pixel and LED backlight, which is touch sensitive for stylus or fingertip. It features, on the other hand, an integrated 3.1 Megapixel autofocus camera, with a 5x zoom, LED flash, and 320 x 240 QVGA, 640 x 480 VGA, 1280 x 1024 SXGA, 1600 x 1200 UXGA and a 2048 x 1536 QXGA resolution. Another multimedia feature is the integrated microphone, receiver, speaker and wired stereo handset.



As far as the memory is concerned, there is a 128 MB SDRAM main memory for running applications and 256 MB flash ROM. In order to expand the storage capacity, you have 1 micro-USB connector for synchronization and charging and a 64-bit Micro SD card slot for memory expansion, which supports up to 8GB.

You can type and text quickly with the full alphanumeric slide-out keyboard, and there are also a 5-way optical navigation, 2 soft keys, ringer/sound switch, send/end buttons, keyguard button, volume control, camera button, 2 quick access keys (Windows Start and OK).



The iPAQ Data Messenger gives you the chance to communicate intelligently, by using email, phone and Internet, with advanced wireless technology, such as integrated WLAN 802.11 b/g, with WPA2 security and Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR, in many countries around the world. Where WiFi is available, connect without using data plan minutes. In addition, you can send instant messages with Windows Live. Data Messenger comes with 3G wireless broadband connectivity for voice and data, Quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1900 MHz), Tri-band UMTS, HSDPA 7.2 Mbps and HSUPA.

Measuring 5.7 x 1.71 x 11.4 cm and weighing 160 grams, this HP iPAQ comes with a removable/rechargeable 1140 mAh Lithium-Polymer (user changeable) battery.



HP iPAQ Voice Messenger is almost similar to the Data Messenger model, but it differs as far as the keyboard is concerned. The device is packing a 2.4-inch 320 x 240 LED-backlit screen, a 20-key keyboard and most everything else already mentioned on its big brother. However, the Voice Messenger is not a touchscreen phone, but it also features Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard Edition. Compared to the iPAQ Data, this one is lighter at 107 grams, measures 5.0 x 1.36 x 11.4 centimeters and features a 1260 mAh Lithium-Polymer battery.



If you’re interested in the HP smartphones, the Voice Messenger is expected to be sold starting November 5th for an amount of €399 ($532), while the Data Messenger will hit the market on November 22nd, with a price of €499 ($665).
