HP iPAQ 5600?
Have you wondered why the HP 5450 had a slot for a SIM card? Because the HP 5600 is the phone edition of this device, based on the same body design as the 5450 of course! They added an antenna and a GSM/GPRS chipset, making this the first Pocket PC Phone Edition device to be sold by a major OEM in North America (only Europeans got the HP Jornada Phone Edition device). This link will take you go a My PDA Caf� discussion thread with many pictures of this new device. Very little information is known about this device, but it sure looks nice.

Woohoo, seems to be just what I've been waiting!! Now I ask myself... why doesnt HP solder in a couple more chips, and give us 128Mb? I would pay 50, 100 more dollars for that... and RAM is cheap theese days, isnt it?
What is on it besides the phone, bluetooth or wi-fi? Does anyone know? Or nothing?

OK that is most likely going to be arond $1200 CDN perhaps as little as $999 with activation with AT&T, and as much as I hate saying it - this sure takes the luster away from my X5 and makes it look pretty lame....and I am yet to get the damn thing delivered. I am in love with HP again.

Internally so far HP hasn't even set a release date for this device yet, from what I understand.
I wouldn't hold my breath Christmas morning....IMHO.

That is one sweet looking machine. A HP5450 WITH GSM/GPRS. It would be perfect with 128MB of RAM.
Would I buy it? If I was getting all the features of the 5450 PLUS GSM/GPRS and it cost $650. Yes.

Flush antenna is cool, I agree. I used to have a Nokia too. But in real life, no antenna suffers from bad reception, especiall if you live in major metropolitan city like LA or NY.
