PDAPhoneHome may have been Slashdotted due to the announcement of their review of a pre-production iPAQ h6310 - I can no longer get into the site :? However the site may be up later and you'll be able to see more of what they have to say about this anticipated HP unit.
From the review: "First, as has been discussed elsewhere, the h6310 is built around the Texas Instruments OMAP1510 processor running at 200MHz. Performance was acceptable if not good. The h6310 has 64MB RAM and 64MB ROM with a ROM date in the tested unit of 2/13/2004. It was running Windows Mobile Phone Edition 2003 (OS Version 4.20.0 Build 13349.)
Second, connectivity is provided through quad-band GSM/GPRS using T-Mobile service, WLAN 802.11b, and Bluetooth. According to HP, the device will be upgradeable to EDGE when the network is delivered and that is part of the roadmap for their PDAphone products."
Any Comments?

I got into the site...
From the article:
All in all, I was very impressed by the h6310. I have been promised a pre-production unit in the next week (once I can get a SIM from T-Mobile) and can hopefully really use the h6310 to its fullest extent. It's nice to know I will have a second date.
It will be available from HP on July 27th and is expected to be shipping by mid-August.
I think it sounds okay...I'm not too keen on having a PocketPC as my phone also....a little too bulky for my taste.

I may have some interest in using it as a phone if it is high quality PPC first... please give us feedback when you get one.
