Call it a Blackberry clone but the HP iPaq 910 Business Messenger is a strong contender to win the hearts and minds of business people that wanted the iPhone but want more power and less gimmicks. Full tactile keyboard, Windows Mobile, good connectivity with 3G and WiFi, GPS, a proper 3 mexapixel camera with flash and focus.
For the business person that’s considering getting a blackberry styled phone they have a lot of choice nowadays with devices from Blackberry themselves, Nokia and HP using the old iPaq brand to sell these solid business phones.
iPaq 910 runs the latest version of Windows Mobile and so all the usual apps appear including Internet Explorer but you can install another browser if you so desire. GPS on this works quite well and shows you where you are on Google Maps which is installed for you. The Bluetooth is proper bluetooth so you can pair it to many devices. Being Windows you can read your office documents too and it has push corporate email.
Phone reception is great too. Yes, it’s 2008 and we are now talking about good phone reception as if that’s some kind of new feature. Thanks iPhone!
A great business phone overall and one we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending.
