HP launches their fab five!


Finally! They’re here!

HP Philippines launched their new line of iPAQ handheld devices last November 11 2004 at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel. An intimate press crowd, a bedazzling magic act by Erick Mana, and great food was just icing on top of the cake for the real eye candy: the fab five of the geek world! The new line of HP’s iPAQs were unveiled that afternoon, namely the entry level rz 1710, the multimedia packed rx 3400 /3700, the enterprise level hx 4700 and HP’s first PDA-phone, the h6300.

1700 The rz 1700 is HP’s entry level PDA, very much like the previous iPAQ 1930. It runs on the new Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition and has a 203MHz Samsung processor. It is the most affordable QVGA Windows Mobile 2003 SE device in the market. The rz 1700 is built with only 25MB of user-available memory (includes 10MB for iPAQ File Store). It has an SDIO slot and IrDA connectivity. The 1700 series will have a SRP of P15,950.00.Note: The rz 1717 has 35MB of user memory with 21MB of iPAQ File Store space available.
3400 3700 The rx 3400 and 3700 are HP’s multimedia and wireless powerhouse devices. The main difference between the two is that the 3400 sports 77MB of user memory while the 3700 has a whopping 152MB. In terms of battery life, the 3400 has a user removable 920 mAh li-ion battery. The 3700 has a higher 1440 mAh user removable li-ion battery. Both sport a 1.2MP digital camera (4x digital zoom) at the back of the unit. They both have integrated 802.11b wireless LAN and Bluetooth. SRP for the rx 3400 is P24,950.00 while the rx 3700 is pegged at P30,950.00

4700
A PDA with a mouse? That’s enterprise level hx 4700! It’s the very first device made available here with a 4.0 inch VGA screen. It is powered by a 624MHz Intel processor and comes with 192MB of user memory. Yes to Bluetooth and yes to built in Wi-Fi! (wow!!) SRP of the hx 4700 is P39,950.00

6300
Last but not least is the h6300, the one and only iPAQ that has quadrouple-wireless features: GSM/ GPRS, Bluetooth and wireless 802.11b LAN. Treo 650 killer? We shall see … This gadget has an SRP of P39,950.00

HP was represented by the energetic Mr. Wowie Wong, the Market Development Manager of HP in the Philippines. HP also announced their partnership with Microwarehouse Inc. as the exclusive distributor of the iPAQ line in the Philippines. For full press release, more images and specs, click here!

Now if only Erick the magician had pulled an iPAQ out of his hat …

I have the h6300(U.S. version) and i love it! Processor is too slow, but the battery life makes up the flaw. I can watch four movies (.wmv files using dvd to pocketpc software) and will still have enough battery life to make a 20 min. call. :-)Full of bugs though, but hopefully it’ll be fix in the future patch update. Yun lang po!

Yun lang po! :-)

Just checked out asia.cnet re: the HP h6300. Ended up falling in love/agonizing over the O2 xda mini vs. O2 XDA IIs. Oh man!!! Hope you review these soon so I can decide which one to get when it comes out.
For now, will keep my HP Ipaq h4350 and hold off on buying the HP hx4700. Convergence is my next priority.
