HP set the release date for iPAQ hw6940 and iPAQ hw6945 Mobile messengers. The devices cost 600 USD and will be offered by Cingular by the end of this week (15/09/06).

$600 Six months ago would've been well spent on this device. $600 today would purchase myself a nice JasJar or a 8525 or even an E61 unlocked with 2GB storage. In any event, I hope this device does well.

Why would you want something without UMTS/HSDPA for that price?

Holy crap 600 dollars. They better cut that price in half

$599 is the price for it WITHOUT carrier subsidy and directly from HP unlocked. Cingular will most definitely sell it for cheaper if you purchase it WITH A CONTRACT. I'm guessing arounf $200 cheaper ($399) with a service agreement after any rebates.

As for the lack of UMTS/HSDPA, I have to agree. HP screwed up horribly. The 6900 series is too little too late: a device that should have been released A YEAR AGO and is already old before it's release in a few days and for the price they are asking ($599 unlocked) they might as well kick themselves in the balls because releasing it so late and all the delays they've already kicked themselves in the ***.
