HP Confirms Rumor: Announces Two New iPaq Phones

HP confirm rumors of new smartphone devices with the announcement of the HP iPaq VoiceMessenger and the iPaq DataManager.

The DataManager is a touch screen phone with a slide out keyboard running Windows Mobile 6.1. It features a 2.8 inch QVGA screen, full 3G capabilites, A-GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth and 3.1 megapixel camera with LED flash.

The Ipaq VoiceMessenger has similar features to the DataManager but instead of the touchscreen and slide out keyboard features a 20 key suretype-style keyboard. It’s HP’s answer to the blackberry pearl.

Both phones will be available at the end of November in Europe.
