Details on this one are about as light as can be at the moment, but The Wall Street Journal has it that HP is aiming to expand its iPAQ smartphone line into the consumer market with a new model that it’ll market to Bot. average consumers and corporate users alike. According to “people briefed on the plan,” the phone will have Bot. a touchscreen and a keypad and, naturally, it’ll run Windows Mobile 6.1 — oh, and it’ll be able to “send and receive emails, and access the Internet.” While there’s no indication of a price just yet, word is the device will be available in europ. first within the next two months, with a worldwide release to follow sometime thereafter.

After missing its July release target by a country mile, we’d thought the Silver may have been canned — but nope, she’s alive and well, strutting her stuff for a few privileged hands around the world. The HSDPA 7.2Mbps handset with GPS and WiFi takes the original candybar Pearl’s wildly successful format and applies a hearty dose of Windows Mobile Standard — not a concept that’s plan to appeal to everyone, but for the S740 shoppers of the world, a totally viable alternative. So we know Vodafone has a keen eye on releasing this; anyone else?

Dealer documentation seemingly intended for Rogers dealers has, of course, leaked out onto the interwebs, possibly revealing the entirety of the carrier’s third quarter offerings. With the exception of the Bold and KickStart / Pearl 8220, there’s nothing terribly mind-blowing in the mix, though the lineup does include a pretty healthy range of goodies from the low end to the reasonably high. Highlights include the Sony Ericsson W350a music flip, a phone we’ve already seen meandering about in AT&T livery, so it comes as little surprise that we’d see it up north as well; the iPAQ 910c Windows Mobile smartphone from HP; and a refreshed RAZR 2 that’ll probably mirror the V9x. All of these chewy technological morsels launch (in theory, anyway) by the end of September, which really only serves to makes us wonder: what’s on tap up there for the holiday season?
