Overview

HP iPAQ hw6515 Mobile Messenger

Editors rating
Rating: 7.5
Verdict

HP's iPAQ hw6515 Mobile Messenger is potentially a very useful device for mobile professionals, particularly those needing convenient navigation functionality. But its limited battery life and lack of Wi-Fi are serious drawbacks.

Typical price

£ 445

Featured Talkback

Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP? A Windows Eee won't come with any useful applications and you'll have to buy anti-virus software to boot. The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
