Windows Mobile Smartphones used to come in a huge variety in the past: QWERTY devices, candybars, (kick)sliders and even flip phones provided a huge amount of choice. Unfortunately, all of the aforementioned form factors except for the QWERTY device have since been eliminated…which is why HP’s Voice Messenger can be considered a last Mohican of sorts with its weird multitap keyboard. But can it stack up?
Long-term HP customers will note that the boxen have been redesigned yet again – they now come in a blue, more “peaceful” color scheme:
Opening the box should unveil a paper stating “Welcome” – it unfortunately was missing in my sample of the box (look at the hp iPaq Data Messenger unboxing for a shot):
Unfortunately, removing the flip lid still doesn’t allow you to grab your device: it is covered in a PVC bag:
The rest of the box consists of a MicroUSB cable, wall-wart (now with separate cable) and headset:
HP furthermore stuffed loads of printed paper into the box:
In the end, HP’s latest-generation box definitely isn’t state of the art anymore when it comes to unboxing. But: all necessary things are on board (except for a memory card) – if this is the device’s only problem, it could become a top seller.
But can it? Tune in soon to figure out more…
