Preview - HP iPAQ 6300

By Brian, Brighthand.com Contributor | 2/13/2004

Thanks to multiple information leaks, we now know exactly what the new HP iPAQ 6300 series will look like. And yes, the last one that circulated was a fake, as expected. The latest twist though is that two models will be released; one with camera, one without.

The HP iPaq 6300 will be the first to include virtually every wireless option there is: quad band GSM/GPRS, Bluetooth and 802.11b (WiFi). The phone will be able to be used almost everywhere, while the WiFi option will allow rapid data transfer at Hotspots or personal/corporte networks. The Bluetooth option supports wireless headset profiles and will enable the connection to other Bluetooth devices like printers.

This leak comes from Pocket PC Italia, who has a long track record for being right when it comes to advance information on rumored devices. It is expected this unit will be on sale in the US in April, with a price of $699 or more.
