HP iPAQ Voice Messenger 512 Review

HP iPAQ Voice Messenger 512

After 8 months of using this phone, I finally found the time and patience to review my phone.

This phone is the Asian version of HP iPAQ Voice Messenger 510 (US).

The feature so the phone is very impressive: Bluetooth, Wifi, WM6 (not 6.1), expandable memoray (up to 2G).

But it lacks the necessary power to handle these features - with 128mb of ram, you can only add two applications in the phone to ensure it still works.

It's a candybar phone, impressive speaker, 2.5mm jack (although the headset is not included in the package).


Don't expect the voice messenger to work well. Although it's an impressive feature at the start (bragging rights), you'll forge that the function is even there.

Overall, the phone will help you in your basic phone needs - call, text, listening to music and watching videos. BUt don't expext extreme functionality. It's 128mb makes it very limited.

Price of the phone is within the $150 range (no contract) so it's a pretty good deal for a wide range of functions.

Review the Review: 5800 XpressMusic by Nokia

There are times that I will be reviewing gadgets that are way too expensive for my budget. My solution? Review those who have reviewed. This week, we'll take a look at the highly anticipated 5800 XpressMusic by Nokia. There are two popular online articles you should check out if you want a detailed review of the mobile phone: Yugatech.com and Technogra.ph.

Their impressions of the mobile phone is pretty much the same. At the price of PHP19,990, the enjoyment anyone could have in this touchscreen phone by Nokia is worth it. The only difference of their review is that Yugatech viewed it as a consumer while Technogra viewed it as a potential buyer. One thing I noticed though is that Technogra noted the TV-out while Yuga missed it.

Check out their reviews. They are very detailed and would give an honest opinion on the mobile phone. For me, even before I read those reviews, I am already bugged my mom about the phone. "Maybe in December" she says.
