HP iPAQ 6515
The HP iPAQ 6515 shares the same goals as its predecessor; it's a HP iPAQ 6515 PDA/Phone cross-over that includes a good sized thumb keyboard to turn the unit into a Blackberry and Treo-busting mobile communicator.

HP iPAQ 6515 PDA has an Intel XScale PXA270 312 MHz processor, 64MB each RAM and Flash ROM with about 57 megs and 12 megs available to the user. The biggest improvements to the specifications are the inclusion of a quad-band GSM phone, a powerful implementation of Bluetooth 1.2 and a defining new feature on a PDA/Phone- Integrated GPS. The HP iPAQ 6515 and hw6510 (same device, minus camera) are available from Cingular in the US.

Built by top O.D.M., HTC in Taiwan the unit feels solid and you're not left feeling that you've been cheated on the price, as high as it is. Weighing in at 5.8 ounces(165g) HP iPAQ 6515 PDA aluminium cases fall at the midpoint between the lightweight Smartphones from i-Mate and QTEK (also built by HTC) and the heavyweight communicators like the i-MATE PDA2K

HP iPAQ 6515 have managed to include two memory card slots; a regular SDIO and a mini-SD giving a maximum storage boost of 3 gigs with today's cards

Around the back is a 1.3M pixel camera with LED lamp, a speaker for speakerphone mode and ringing, and a removable HP iPAQ 6515 PDA battery pack that contains a 1200 mAh battery.

In addition to the back-lit 39-key keyboard HP iPAQ 6515 has a sound 5-way joystick, buttons for call pickup and clear-down, Contacts and Email. On the side you'll find volume up/down and a camera button.

Powered by an Intel XScale PXA270 312 MHz processor with 64MB each RAM and Flash ROM HP iPAQ 6515 has about 57 megs and 12 megs available to the user. This is light but, there won't be much need to install many apps.

In day-to-day email, calendar and web browsing the CPU is fine. HP iPAQ 6515 handheld PDA will play full screen MP4 videos using TCPMP, and it runs games smoothly (those that actually work at 240 x 240 resolution). Its biggest stretch is with Skype; it can run the application and even make voice calls over Wi-Fi if you plug a Wi-Fi card into the SDIO slot. The CPU speed falls below Skype's recommendation but the PXA 272 CPU seems more efficient than its predecessor.

The cheap HP iPAQ 6515 makes a strong enough audio and video player to negate the need to buy a dedicated alternative.
