Hot on the heels of those
blurry, low-quality photos of the upcoming HP iPAQs, come these shiny new pics sure to have waiting fans foaming at the mouth. As you can see, the new handhelds are definitely a reality, and now we've got details on added models to the lineup, as well as rumored release information. First and foremost is the iPAQ 914 (pictured), a Windows Mobile smartphone with a 3-megapixel camera, GPS, WiFi, and HSDPA support. HP is also intro'ing the 614, another Windows Mobile device (this one presumably with a touchscreen), plus GPS, WiFi, and HSDPA -- both new phones are said to be selling for around $800. The company is also introducing the 314, a GPS navigator with custom HP software, and the iPAQ 214 and 114 ($500 / $430), two Windows Mobile-based PDAs without any phone functions (though they have WiFi, allowing for VoIP). All of the devices are said to be hitting shelves in October, save for the 914, which is due (supposedly) in November. Feel free to hit the read link for more info, though we warn you, it's in Swedish.

With that form factor, why go 240x240 seems like a waste
It's absolutely NOT 240x240. Looking at the shot it even seems to be frickin' VGA. Look at the spacing between the items on the screen. Judging by the price I wouldn't be surprised if that's VGA.
Is this HP first stab in the cellphone market?
Is it just me or does this thing look like the Palm Centro. it's one thing to have a funny looking smartphone but it's another to copy a bad looking smartphone. Not to say that I am but, the center of this unit and the centro looks similar in my opinion.
Agreed, the navigation buttons are strikingly similar.
I wish VZ would get this phone. I wonder who will be the carrier to woo this baby on their side.
This is a GSM phone. It ain't coming to Verizon.
It's a real kick in the balls that the $800 version doesn't even seem to have VGA.
Ummm no it's looks like a blackberry look at the keys wow HP get your own design!!
