HP iPAQ 510

Description

 In addition to its quad-band GSM/EDGE network communication capabilities, the iPAQ 510 also offers built-in Wi-Fi for VoIP (voice over Internet protocol) telephony over open 802.11b/g networks. Other features include a range of voice commands, 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity for communication headsets, expansion via MicroSD memory cards, and up to 6.5 hours of talk time. The new Windows Mobile 6 operating system enables you to view and edit Word and Excel documents as well as provides instant message capabilities via Windows Live Messenger. (See more details about Windows Mobile 6 below.) You'll also get an enhanced Outlook Mobile experience that enables you to view emails in their original HTML format and enjoy quick access to contacts with the ability to search a call history and contacts database. Nicely compact, the iPAQ 510 measures just 0.64 inches thin and weighs 3.6 ounces. It has a 2-inch micro-reflective TFT screen with a 176 x 220-pixel resolution and an LED backlight. The phone offers 128 MB of ROM (which stores the Windows Mobile 6 operating system and applications) and 64 MB of SDRAM (which can be used to store user files), and it provides approximately 65 MB of available ROM storage and 44 MB of SDRAM memory. It's expandable using MicroSD memory cards, which currently max out at 2 GB of storage. The address book is only limited by the available memory, and you can store up to 12 numbers per entry as well as home and work addresses, e-mail, IM screen name, and more. For caller ID purposes, you can pair a contact with a photo, a caller group, or one of 28 ringtones. It has a 12-key numeric phone keyboard and a blocky 5-way navigation controller. Because this phone runs the Windows Mobile 6 Standard Edition, which doesn't support touch screens, you'll have to use the controller and keypad for accessing functions. The iPAQ 510 also offers more than 20 voice commands for easy hands-free operation. Using a powerful "voice reply" feature, you can reply to email by dictating and sending a voice response, without the need for any typing. You can also listen to email and text messages, navigate through phone and calendar tasks, and speak to start applications. Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6 updates the Windows Mobile 5 platform with a number of handy features that make searching through email, editing Microsoft Office documents, and staying on top of your most important communications even easier. Emails can now be viewed in their original rich HTML format and now offer the ability to visit embedded links. It also includes Windows Live for Windows Mobile, which provides a full set of Windows Live services, such as the Windows Live Messenger IM application, which now enables you to chat with more than one person at one time or send a file. With Windows Mobile 6, your phone will finally be able to emulate the power and features of your PC's Microsoft Office suite. You'll be able to neatly view, navigate and edit Word documents and Excel spreadsheets in their original formatting--without affecting tables, images or text--as well as view PowerPoint presentations.
