This device is the latest in the mobile messenger series from iPAQ.Now with the latest Windows Mobile 5.0, the hw6965 features a quad band GSM radio and with GPRS and EDGE.

The major features are :

  • Bluetooth, IrDA
  • Full QWERTY keyboard.
  • Wi-Fi and integrated GPS.
  • Processing is taken care by Intel’s PXA 270 processor(416 Mhz).
  • 128 MB Flash Memory and 64 SD Ram.
  • 240 x 320 pixel touch screen, LCD displaying 65,000 colours.
  • Screen is protected with a plastic flip cover which can be replaced with anew one.
  • 1.3 MP camera

Advantage Due to Windows Mobile 5.0

  • Full Office Suite including word mobile, excel mobile, power point mobile and outlook mobile.

As Regards GPS an application called Map King is preloaded with maps for 5 cities(NCR, Mumbai,Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad) included in the CD.You can choose an one of them.Additional Maps can be bought from rs 1800 or 2000.

Disadvantage:

certain problems with Windows Mobile continue.Applications don’t close when you tap to close button/They Keep Running in the background and hence closing down the machine.You might have to manually close them occasionally.Depending on your need, regular reboots might be necessary to keep the device lag free.

However as the comparison result with its previous version its a better buy than its precious version of 6500 due to change in internal features.

Price : In India ist costing around 38,000 which is approx 845 USD

      one buys a 30K worth smartphone, only to find that he has been duped by the company in terms of warranty….

      Horrendous service by HP…. I wonder how people by their products.

      I still do not think HP is a company to deal with….no ethics regarding customer satisfaction.

      Please read this….
