Yet another review of the hp iPAQ h6300; well, a miniature one anyhow. "Om Malik on Broadband" have been playing with the device and share their thoughts:
"Okay I got to use the iPaq h6315 for about a week and have some impressions. I think if you are a PC user, and have a user-friendly tech-support department, then this is a good device for you to carry on day trips. I got to configure and use it with my T-Mobile service within minutes, since most of the settings come preloaded into the device. The software collection that is bundled with this device will meet most of your needs. The new device is a quad-band global communicator, and can roam seamlessly from one corner of the world to the other. It is also quite easy to connect with the T-Mobile hotspots. I tried to connect with a bluetooth headset from Plantronics, with success in less than ten minutes. The thumb board provided with the device is good enough for answering emails and sending quick SMS messages. I installed the XTen softphone on the device, and boom I was making VoIP calls using my Vonage account.
So what is that i don't like about this device. It is difficult to use as a phone because it is too broad, and feels quite heavy in your shirt pocket, though you don't feel the weight in your jacket pocket. It is not going to win any design points from us. The stubby antenna is not exactly most appealing. Like all Pocket PC devices, the 6315 drains the batteries. If I had an option, I would go for the XDA II, which is available in Europe and Asia, since that device is more appealing and is easier to use as a phone. Oh."
