Review Date

Friday, 15th of August, 2008

Features

Form Factor : Candybar
Mobile Network Bands : UMTS (2100MHz)

What's Hot

HSDPA 7.2, GPS, Wi-Fi, operation speed

What's Not

Dull design, scroll wheel isn’t as intuitive as it could have been, lack of extra HP software, no turn-by-turn navigation

The Final Word

The iPAQ 612c offers a fairly impressive list of features and bundles them to form a reasonable device. The lack of HP software is disappointing and the scroll wheel could use some work, but there is plenty to like about this handset on the whole.
