Sure, we could beat around the bush and say, "well, the test report calls it an iPAQ and it's got both GSM and HSPA on the 850 and 1900MHz bands, so it's probably headed to AT&T" -- but let's cut to the chase for once, shall we? Despite much of the documentation still falling under confidentiality, HP's latest phone has "AT&T SKU" written right on its publicly-available ID label, so that pretty much settles that. Interestingly, the documentation repeatedly refers to the new WinMo-powered handset as the "iPAQ KB1," but we have every reason to believe this is the
K3 Obsidian that's been floating around for a while now. To be fair, we don't know whether that's a go-to-market name -- nor do we know the price or launch date, for that matter -- whatever it's called, we can now take comfort in the knowledge that it'll be 100 percent legal to use on American soil.

here's that HP WM6.5 device we heard about...
So...guess HPQ's no going to buy Palm, huh?
The four people who care about this thing are very happy.
Will I be able to get one in any other color except black?
i used to be a huge windows mobile user but the day on the tiny screen is over ... maybe when windows mobile 7 arrives i'll switch back but until them ...
i like the way WinMobile operates but the web experience just outright sucks. I finally got an an iphone because i was paying $30 fro crappy web on my blackjack2 i figured i might as well pay $30 for a good web experience. I don't like giving Apple my money and soul but its a better experience ... with some trade offs.
Nice to see HP still comitted to releasing new iPaq models.
As a owner of a older model, it's interesting these days most iPaq's are now smartphones.
I thought all of HP's iPAQ phones were unlocked phones? Why would they change that now?
iPaq still lives? :3
