We’ve got another miniature communicator without a keypad. This time it’s Hewlett-Packard (HP) that couldn’t resist the temptation to get its share of the pie. Quite experienced in this segment, the company didn’t try to reinvent the wheel and just copied a successful communicator .. It’s manufactured by an OEM/ODM manufacturer in Taiwan.. The rw68xx sales are limited only to East Asia and China, to all appearances not to interfere with the hw69xx series of communicators with keypads.
The rw68xx line is planned to include several various devices. But only HP iPAQ rw6828 is available so far. This communicator possesses most features in this series. The main competitors of this model are various devices, strange as it may seem, O2 XDA Atom. The new product differs from the first group in its support for EDGE and the built-in FM tuner. The only difference from the O2 is its design, the other parameters are the same. But devices similar on paper may differ much in real life.
