hey guys jon rettinger from TechnoBuffalo here with a review for you on the 18 th p ipaq glisten little phone with a lot of names this is going to run you about 180 bucks on a two-year contract it's takes a new take on the blackberry form factor the candy bar style with a keyboard down below and a touchscreen up above we'll talk about the specs in a minute but since this is a phone first and foremost it's got to make a decent calls call quality was very good on the ipad list in the radio that HP put in is able to maintain it very solid signal strength call quality on my aunt sounded great call quality on the colors and sounded very strong as well they both experienced no white noise and people couldn't even tell that we were on a cell phone so it was very very good and signal strength was quite strong really anywhere i was able to maintain a relatively nice 3g signal so talking about other sort of call quality features speaker phone on this is quite bad and a little bit of an embarrassment for HP a little bit of a speaker grill right there but that's about it really low if you want to use a speaker phone in the car this is not going to be the phone for you let's talk about specs this thing has a 2.5 inch qvga screen resolution of 320 x 240 it's quad man of course so it's gonna work anywhere in the world it's tri-band UMTS selector 3g it also has gps Wi-Fi B&G bluetooth 2.0 USB 2.0 and a proximity sensor all the stuff you'd expect from a modern smartphone resolution wise and i'll show you the 320 x 240 screen does not look so hot it's a little bit tough to look at menu items we look at the windows start menu you don't get many that you can view I won't say though it has i'm scrolling through here the resistive touchscreen HP use a quick responsive it works very well without a lot of touch necessary scrolls very fluidly processor wide it's powered by a Qualcomm 533 megahertz processor it's not underpowered it's not overpowered sort of right in the middle it's got a 512 megabytes of brawl 200 of which are accessible and 256 megabytes of RAM I've move about a hundred and forty megabytes of which are accessible and of course got a micro SD expansion so I've talked about windows mobile 6.5 or Windows Phone is Microsoft is calling it in the past this is sort of your standard build windows mobile HP put nothing unique on this this is just windows mobile in its raw form that's not necessarily the worst thing sometimes the skins that go on top of this can have a bit of a processor drain not so with the iPad it does come with a mammoth 59 1590 milliamp hour battery which lasts for days I was able to use this thing for two full days with heavy internet usage heavy calling and still have about twenty percent of the battery done so if you're a big user a power user do not worry about battery life it's actually one of the strongest that I've used one of the great things about this phone is the keyboard it's got a really nice very big keyboard as you can see the keys are raised and the phone itself is a little bit on the white side which not necessary the worst thing take a look at it next to well an iphone you can see that the keys it's a little bit bigger and the keys are really nice type on it's probably one of the best physical keyboards that I've used in this form factor there's low bridges you can see where the keys are and just feels nice and smooth that would have liked the cute or the space bar to be a little bit bigger but it was not bad if you enjoy this form factor and it was a lot of you do this is probably one of the best keyboards on the market overall I came by relatively impressed with the phone which is really not what i expected i took a look at the specs call quality was great it was very responsive it worked the keyboard was fantastic and for someone like me who use the internet quite a bit being able to get through days and days with it it was really a nice benefit to have so if you're in the market for a windows mobile or windows phone 6.5 device this one is definitely worth checking out brings a lot to the table if you don't like the standard build of windows mobile you can always throw something on here like spb mobile shell or any other skins that are available there a ton to really give it some increased functionality if you can deal with a little bit of low resolution but you like the front-facing keyboard the ipaq glisten is going to be a very nice way to go on a one-to-five scale by give it a very solid for that a higher resolution screen and maybe a little beefier processor probably would have come close to that five mark for windows mobile it gets definitely one of the best all-inclusive packages out there so guys i'm jon rettinger for TechnoBuffalo for all your exclusive tech needs and to monetize and create your own text cite here to check out technobuffalo calm and check me out of twitter twitter.com / john for lakers i will see you guys in the next video bye bye
