Default Mobile Computer Hands-on with HP iPaq Voice Messenger and iPaq Data Messenger

http://www.mobilecomputermag.co.uk/...martphones.html

"HP has announced two new Windows Mobile smartphones today - the iPaq Voice Messenger and Data Messenger. HP is pitching the smartphones at two different markets and the iPaq Voice Messenger is aimed at users who need a phone first; the iPaq Data Traveller is pitched at people looking for a more traditional smartphone."

I think HP has come up with quite a stylish design - this doesn't look like any other smartphone on the market, and that's a good thing. There's a video after the break, and the full specifications for those that want a break-down.

Who still buys non-touch smartphones? May as well stick with nokia etc than have a WM version crash on you.
The proper touch ver is too thick, heavy. Why do they think a touch phone needs a keyboard?
