Introduction
As a business user, my needs for a Windows Mobile device tend to be very demanding. I am usually after the perfect combination of small and light, with a lot of the word “powerful”, and still ergonomic enough to make my mobile experience practical. HP has just released their new iPAQ 900 series Business Messenger in an attempt to offer a solution that could just pull it off in addressing all the needs and desires of the business user. Does elegance meet up with performance? Read on to find out!

| The device fits quite comfortably in the hand and leaves a very positive first impression. | On the down side, the keyboard design is very promising, but can tend to be a bit uncomfortable because of the metallic detail within. | ||||||

| Here is a shot of the Start menu entries. | The camera application is probably the worst I have ever seen. Slow to focus, not softkey friendly, slow to respond and I have not yet been able to shoot one single image without blur! | ||||||
Overall Impression
Cons aside, the design simply falls under what I would call a nice looking piece of hardware. I simply can't avoid people staring at it and asking me where they can buy one. HP does need to go back to the drawing board immediately and fix the bugs to make this a true competitor. My overall impression in the end is that once these issues are solved, the device, with some additional third party app's can become a winner. The only problem is, the clock is ticking, and fall's new line up of competition does require HP to move fast.
