HP iPAQ Glisten spices up store shelves at AT&T - PhoneDog Cell ...
After sitting here for five minutes in an attempt to create some sort of catchy introduction with the model name and the article, I think I'll just run with it. AT&T and HP today announced the iPAQ Glisten, a 3G device that offers Windows Mobile 6.5, an AMOLED display (the first smartphone on AT&T to offer one, in fact), full QWERTY keyboard, Wi-Fi, 3.5mm headphone jack, and 3.1-megapixel camera. The Glisten will cost $179.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and new two-year agreement, and will be available in "the coming weeks" (yep, yet another use of "the coming weeks" phrase). It's a bit pricey, but for Windows Mobile users (and former Motorola Q users), it offers a new form factor.
If you're a press release person, the full text can be found below. The price is a bit high given the "established" price levels we talk about on a regular basis, but given the features, are there any takers?
