HP iPAQ Voice Messenger

The Voice Messenger is powered by Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 and is bundled with Office Mobile which includes applications such as Excel Mobile, OneNote Mobile, PowerPoint Mobile and Word Mobile. While you can edit and view documents with these applications, you cannot create them.

The phone also has Google Maps and coupled with the built-in GPS, it is very useful when you need a street view and directions to your destination.

Besides these programs, you will find the other standard programs such as Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer, games and more. The Voice Messenger has 128MB of RAM memory as well as a microSD slot which supports up to 8GB memory cards. But you have to remove the back casing of the phone to insert the card, which is a bit of a hassle.

The sleek and sturdy HP iPAQ Voice Messenger is let down by its rather crammed Qwerty keypad but there are other things going for it.

It has all the important features such as WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth which you look for in a smartphone. The affordable phone also has a decent camera, a bright screen and handy dedicated buttons.

Overall, the Voice Messenger is a decent smartphone if you can live with the keypad.
