Talk about a surprise for all, right? I have pretty much written Dell and HP out of the Smartphone game after all these years. If you are new to Mobilitysite, it is a mixture of a merge of Mobilitysite, iPaqHQ, and Aximsite, among others. There are still quite a few iPAQ and Axim questions that get answered in our forums too. In the past, I have been real critical of HP and how long it takes them to get devices to market. The HP iPAQ HW6900 could have been a hot device had it made it to the streets 6 months earlier than it did. Instead, many probably don’t even know it existed after it was annouced and faded in desire with all the hot HTC devices launched during the 6-9 months it took to get released on the Cingular network.

Well look what we have here… the HP iPAQ K3 (Obsidian). Can you say, “WOW, what a surprise!”?

Turns out we haven’t said our last goodbyes, though, because the iPAQ K3 — codenamed “Obsidian,” seemingly — is scheduled for November 30 retail availability on AT&T. The device would launch with Windows Mobile 6.5 onboard and feature a 2 megapixel camera (a second cameraless version for high-security businessfolk might be available, too), 256MB of RAM, a half gig of ROM, microSD slot, GPS, triband HSDPA and quadband EDGE, WiFi, 3.5mm headphone jack, and a QVGA display to complement the full QWERTY keyboard.

Here is some info about the device…
