Pocket PC Thoughts: An Exclusive Preview of the HP iPAQ hw6715

Figure 16: HP's QuickStart Tour should have you up and running in no time.


Figure 17: The hw6715's Today screen. As you can see, it's definitely Windows Mobile 5.0.


Figure 18: A close-up shot of the backlit keyboard. And guess what? It's white!


Figure 19: The hw6715 from one angle...


Figure 20: ...and another angle.


Figure 21: I wasn't sure how useful this shot would be, but I included it anyway.

Update #1: I've been shot with emails left, right and centre with queries on the screen resolution. It is no different to that of the hw6510/hw6515, and is thus 240 x 240.

Update #2: Apart from the variation in processor speeds, every specification on the device correlates with what was leaked by HP in August. Unfortunately, due to the exclusion of an appropriate GPS software package in this pre-production model, testing could not be conducted.

Upcoming Devices?
Lastly, I've been assured that the rx1950/rx1955 (which we have reported here, here and here) is no fake. Specs have yet to be decided on, but if rumours are anything to go by, it will feature a Samsung S3C2442 300MHz processor, 32MB RAM, 64MB ROM, a 3.5" QVGA (240x320) 65K-colour screen, SDIO, 802.11b Wi-Fi, IR, and a 1100mAh Li-Ion battery - all packed into an h4150 shell. The release date is still unknown.
