Looks cool, but why can't companies offer both CDMA and GSM at the same time or at least offer them altogether.

Nice looking device - very businesslike, but, don't it look somewhat like a Palm? :? That's convergence for you!

For several reasons.
1. GSM phones can be sold as aftermarket devices, since you can swap SIM cards in. In general, CDMA phones can't -- you need to work through the carrier, which takes months.
2. GSM is a bigger marketshare globally.
I'd love to see CDMA too, but I'm not surprised as to why the vendor is doing it that way. :|

Thats one big battery :!:
But it only has 64Mb ram, and when compared to the MPx has a very yawn-inspiring form factor. Is it supposed to have a flip cover, for if not it will definitely need a case. It doest look much like a phone, maybe its mainly intended for GPRS driven web station.
I replace my phone and pda on a yearly cycle, and with PPCPE devices were able to unify this cycle and save money. Ill be giving this device a miss and going for the MPx I'm afraid.

butif i wont buy wifi device then i could buy an imate with vibra-ring 
and with small form factor... so pull nothing me from motorolla cause mpx is the same as imate except the keyboard, what give a big size to the device... but anyway... im fear from ti omap proc. in hp, i think that the integrated 64 meg ram is small for today... (i have a big sd card but need a lot of space for the default programs and for running environment (and 64 is not enought)) i like the ati gfx 'applet' on toshiba e805 for the smooth media playback and 6300 will not have... so... many dissappointments from hp but love the big battery the design and the wifi/bt/gsm feature...
Linear Mode
