Courtesy of new MTekk forum user ragnew, we now have what seems to be the most complete specifications yet for the oft-rumoured hp iPAQ 6000 series Pocket PC Phone. The source is a draft 3 page brochure, which seems to go into quite some detail. It looks like this will be quite a formidable device, although the fact that the brochure is a draft may indicate that further hardware changes are to occur. Nonetheless, it's exciting to see this level of detail!

We've also received information that the device will be released through T-Mobile in May, with AT&T getting the device in August. This contradicts information recently discussed, which indicated either an April or August release - but at least there's not too long to see which date will be correct. Our informant goes on to say that, with the Motorola MPx to be released in July, hp can't afford to wait.

And so, without any further ado, here are the specs!
