HP unveils rw6800 series... in Asia

Oh HP, don't play us like that. Tease the rw6828 around for a little while, then announce only in Asia? And the specs on the HP iPAQ rw6800 series ain't shabby enough to get us to look the other way, either: 416MHz Xscale processor, 64MB RAM, 128MB flash memory, 262k color QVGA touchscreen display, MiniSD, GSM / GPRS / EDGE, Bluetooth 1.2, 802.11b on the rw6828, FM tuner, 2 megapixel camera, and stereo speakers. We'll let you know as soon as, uh, it shows up on the FCC, ok?

I thought these ones were supposed to have GPS too? Or maybe I've just been looking at too many Pocket PC's.

The FM tuner and 802.11b make this a pretty hot phone. I don't care too much for the colored plastic flip lids.

I'll be waiting for the FCC related posts to see if it really makes it to the US. Fingers and toes crossed.

It is a nice PPC phone. I just bought a 8125 so I guess I won't be buying this phone. I want UMTS anyway.
