HP's iPaq Line Lives with the Glisten


HP's corporate-themed iPAQ smartphones have been pretty solid over the years. Now the company has unveiled the iPAQ Glisten, a fully updated model that will be available subsidized on AT&T--unlike the unlocked HP iPAQ 910 we reviewed last year.

Like that iPAQ 910, the HP iPAQ Glisten is your standard black QWERTY slab. HP distinguishes the Glisten, however, with a vibrant AMOLED (active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) touch screen--a first for AT&T smartphones.

The Glisten features Windows Mobile 6.5, Wi-Fi, GPS, and access to Windows Marketplace for Mobile. In addition, there's a 3.1-megapixel camera, and AT&T throws in its free Wi-Fi Hotspot access for more than 20,000 locations.

The iPAQ Glisten will land "in the coming weeks" for $229.99 with a two-year agreement and after rebates. It will be available through HP corporate sales, AT&T business services, and AT&T and HP SMB Web sites, as well as third-party e-commerce sites.
