HP iPAQ 914 Business Messenger

One little goodie I found in my HP Connecting Your World bag when I got to the event was an HP iPAQ 914 smartphone. I plan to give this phone a trial over the next few weeks to see how I like it. It’s running Windows Mobile Professional 6.1 and includes a touchscreen and full qwerty keyboard. The keyboard is a bit stiff right now, but that may change over time.

It’s about the same size as my iPhone, although it is definitely thicker. Still, it’s much smaller than my old AT&T 8525 or the Tilt, and it should prove quite attractive to many Windows Mobile users. But pictures speak louder than words, so here are a few pictorial comparisons. Click on the pictures for a larger version. Read the Press Release for more details. Should be available June 30 in select markets.
