Trusted Reviews brings us a very SHORT review of the HP iPaq rw6815 Personal Messenger. This one has been out a while, but still getting new reviews all the time. It really is a looker, but getting mixed reviews. Sandra Vogel wasn’t too happy with the the phone as an MP3 player, 8 hours of music isn’t enough for her.

"Battery life too was not quite what I would have liked. Continuous MP3 playback from a miniSD card with the screen forced to stay on got me eight and a quarter hours of music. I’ve seen some Windows Mobile Pocket PCs recently approach and even pass ten hours under the same regime, so this is a case of ‘could do better’.

In fact, ‘could do better’ seems like a fair overall judgement on this device. It is a comfortable Pocket PC to use, and not too bulky to carry around. But while it comes up trumps in some areas, most notably built in memory and memory expansion, it lets down in others, such as the lack of ‘g’ Wi-Fi support and slightly less than top notch battery life."
