HP iPAQ 910 smartphone is an every gentle-executive must have device.

I’ve never ever review or write something that has a relation with big company like HP before. But now, thankfully it is over. Today, I’m going to give you a review on what could this iPAQ 910 do for you. Can it substitute your company’s Blackberry? Let’s see!

HP iPAQ Business Manager 910 Design and Dimensions

Like most smartphone or PDA out there, this HP executive warrior’s device comes as a candy bar smartphone with a QWERTY keyboard. The dimension is pretty cool. With a 4.45′ in height, a 2.53′ in width and a 0.63′ in depth, plus 146 gr in weight, sure HP iPAQ 910 is easy enough to be grabbed up by your hand. Especially if you’re a man. How about woman? Hmmm, I’ll skip gadget like this as soon as possible. Woman occasionally prefer slimmer thing don’t they?

As a comparison, this iPAQ is a bit thicker than the 3G iPhone which comes only in 0.48′ in depth. Besides thicker, it is also 13 gr heavier than the 3G iPhone. Why bothered yourself with 3G iPhone? Because comparison my friend, is a virtue.

HP iPAQ Business Manager 910 OS and Software

This iPAQ 910 will be powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 OS. Just for the information, this gadget is the HP first device which comes with that Microsoft power house flagship OS. So you shouldn’t be surprised if you find this one to be a little bit expensive than any other HP smartphone.

For MS Office lover, this iPAQ will let you open and edit those files easily. No more time wasting or at least lucid dreaming in your plane. Keep work gentleman! That’s why those vendors create a gadget like this. Anyway, you also may enjoy flickering your photos since this iPAQ 910 also give you a chance to upload those pictures directly to photo sharing service like Flickr.

HP iPAQ 910 is so masculine! Just leave it ladies!

Other stuff you might interested is the built in Google Maps and multimode GPS. Does an executive like you need such a navigation device while visiting your business partner in Berlin or Singapore? Actually, this feature is just too much. However, forget about it. The important thing here is that you’ll love to enjoy anything - including pictures you’ve taken form its 3 MP camera - on its screen that comes in 240 x 320 pixel at 2,46 inch touch screen display. That’s what QVGA means.

Since I have assumed you to be somebody with a C or V symbol in your company, why not let your self enjoy my review on HTC Touch Diamond and HTC Touch Pro. Both comes with a VGA instead of QVGA display. What’s that mean? A higher quality of view of course. And much more expensive too.

HP iPAQ Business Manager 910 Network and Technology

HP seems don’t want to underestimate their target audience with a trivial technology here. So this is it. An iPAQ 910 will always ready to accompany you on air and online with its GSM/GPRS/EDGE and UMTS/HSDPA at 7.2 Mbps. Oh yeah, you ask me about Bluetooth don’t you? HP also bundled this iPAQ 910 with Bluetooth feature.

There is an addition though, Wi-Fi and VoIP are also supported by this masculine gizmo. And When you need to make hands-free operation procedure, a built-in Cyberon Voice Commander and Voice Reply functions will allow you to keep in action. Yeah, just like I have said up there, they want you to keep working and working.

HP iPAQ Business Manager 910 Drawback

There is still aminor thing which HP left here. Most reviewer out there said that its SD slot which is located underneath the battery always made them down.

HP iPAQ Business Manager 910 Price and Availability

Hmmm, rumors said that HP will sell it at $499 or $500 without contract. Interested? If your answer is yes than you should wait for this iPAQ 910 on June 30th. There are no information yet on the region which will get this device first. However, let’s hope and predict that they will spread it around countries where HP have already established a Customer Service there.
