HP iPAQ Glisten Review
Score: 37.4 / 100HP iPAQ Glisten is a low level Windows Mobile Professional device launched many years ago, equipped with a 3 mega-pixels back side camera, a 2.5" touch-screen and a 533 megahertz CPU.
This cellphone feels a bit heavy comparing with today standards, with a weight of 4.66 ounces. This cellphone is a little thick for current standards, being as thick as 0.53 inches. This phone is 4.44 inches long and 2.47 inches wide, but it is only able to hold a much smaller 2.5 inches display.
HP equipped this device with an average 2.5 inches display, and a resolution of 240 x 320 (QVGA), making everything look quite nice. Its display uses AMOLED resistive technology, but it doesn't allow multi-touch gestures.
This cellphone is powered by a fast CPU running at 533 MHz with just 256 MB of RAM memory.
This phone counts with wi-fi connection (but it can't be shared with other devices as a mobile mobile hotspot) and fast 3G connection type, supported by HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone uses a SIM card for GSM networks.
This cellphone is only equipped with a 3 mega-pixels back-facing camera.
This device also comes with a handful of interesting features as Bluetooth (provides communication with other devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS Geolocation, and a few sensors likeLight Sensor and Proximity Sensor.
The HP iPAQ Glisten comes with a medium sized 1590 mAh Li-Polymer removable battery that provides the HP iPAQ Glisten a not very long battery lifecompared to other devices. This device has an estimated stand by time of 423 hs and a talk time of 5.8 hs.
This cellphone is not a very good choice considering it costs 89 dollars, and many similar devices cost a lot less than that.
