HP Cell Phone iPAQ 510 - Voice Messenger Phone

Eschewing the curvy yet bulky design of its iconic iPAQ Pocket PCs of old, the HP iPAQ 510 Voice Messenger offers a downright svelte design as well as the power of the Windows Mobile 6 Standard operating system (for non-touchscreen phones). In addition to its quad-band GSM/EDGE network communication capabilities, the iPAQ 510 also offers built-in Wi-Fi for VoIP (voice over Internet protocol) telephony over open 802.11b/g networks. Other features include a range of voice commands, 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity for communication headsets, expansion via MicroSD memory cards, and up to 6.5 hours of talk time.

A slim and svelte Windows Mobile 6 workhorse, the iPAQ 510 weighs just 3.6 ounces and is easily pocketable.

The new Windows Mobile 6 operating system enables you to view and edit Word and Excel documents as well as provides instant message capabilities via Windows Live Messenger. (See more details about Windows Mobile 6 below.) You'll also get an enhanced Outlook Mobile experience that enables you to view emails in their original HTML format and enjoy quick access to contacts with the ability to search a call history and contacts database. The iPAQ 510 is also very enterprise-friendly as it's the first iPAQ device to offer the over-the-air device management capabilities from Bitfone, which can be used by IT managers to remotely support the iPAQ's performance, security and access to applications, data and networks.

Nicely compact, the iPAQ 510 measures just 0.64 inches thin and weighs 3.6 ounces. It has a 2-inch micro-reflective TFT screen with a 176 x 222-pixel resolution and an LED backlight. The phone offers 128 MB of ROM (which stores the Windows Mobile 6 operating system and applications) and 64 MB of SDRAM (which can be used to store user files), and it provides approximately 65 MB of available ROM storage and 44 MB of SDRAM memory. It's expandable using MicroSD memory cards, which currently max out at 2 GB of storage. The address book is only limited by the available memory, and you can store up to 12 numbers per entry as well as home and work addresses, e-mail, IM screen name, and more. For caller ID purposes, you can pair a contact with a photo, a caller group, or one of 28 ringtones.

Use the keypad to access functions within Outlook, Word, and Excel, or use the iPAQ 510's 20 voice commands for easy hands-free operation.

The built-in camera on the back of the phone can capture 1.3-megapixel still photos as well as video clips.

It has a 12-key numeric phone keyboard and a blocky 5-way navigation controller. Because this phone runs the Windows Mobile 6 Standard Edition, which doesn't support touch screens, you'll have to use the controller and keypad for accessing functions. The iPAQ 510 also offers more than 20 voice commands for easy hands-free operation. Using a powerful "voice reply" feature, you can reply to email by dictating and sending a voice response, without the need for any typing. You can also listen to email and text messages, navigate through phone and calendar tasks, and speak to start applications.

The camera on the back of the phone has a 1.3-megapixel resolution, and it offers five quality settings--from QCIF (176 x 144 pixels) to SXGA (1280 x 1024 pixels, good enough for snapshot prints). It supports GIF, JPEG, BMP, and PNG file formats. It can also shoot short video clips at 176 x 144 pixels.

In addition to Bluetooth wireless capability (version 1.2) for hands-free headsets, the iPAQ 510 also has a 2.5mm jack for using wired headset and stereo headphones. Connect to your PC via Bluetooth or USB (version 1.1).
