Review : Cingular’s HP iPAQ 6515
Posted by Chris Leckness on 02/10/06 in PocketPC, Smart Phones
You may be asking yourself, "Why is this device getting reviewed so late?" Well its simple really. Due to a fallout with HP during the long winded roll out of this device, I chose not to publish my review of the 6515 back in September 2005. When I got my hands on a production unit from Cingular, I decided to go ahead with my review. I used the 6515 for a couple months back then and I put another couple weeks into this unit and totally rewrote the review. Thanks for reading my review and I hope you enjoy it.
"A hidden gem
I consider iPAQ hw6515 a hidden gem. Poor timing and a horrible rollout of this device left many looking elsewhere to find a great converged device. The launch was not really a launch, there was so much info online prior to the actual announcement that it was barely noticed. Many users desiring a converged device at this time were hungry for Windows Mobile 5 as well. HP announced that the 6515 would not receive an upgrade and it really devalued this machine. I used the iPAQ hw6515 for a couple of months last year prior to the launch and returned the unit without writing a review. Now that Cingular is officially carrying this device, I decided to take it for another spin. I liked it then, and I still like it now. "
