Meet the HP iPAQ Data Messenger. This is one that flew under the radar for the most part. The “smartphone” (iPAQ Voice Messenger) was leaked all over the place for quite some time, but I haven’t seen much on this one. It’s is basically the same as the Voice Messenger, just with out the front facing candy bar design, adding the slide out keyboard in it’s place. 3G, integrated GPS, 128mb RAM and 256mb ROM, the works. It’s running a 528mhz processor with a ~1100mah battery, so it should be plenty fast, but what about the battery life.

Ok, so this is an HP device, which some of you know I used to really like, with a slide out keyboard and a big screen. Wow. I like so far. No word on pricing or availability yet.

Read on for full specs…
