We have a sneaking suspicion most Vodafone faithful have been focusing on other matters, but those who’ve kept HP’s iPAQ Voice Messenger in the front of their mind can finally celebrate. Yep, the Windows Mobile-based smartphone — which is about as “all-business” as they come, might we add — is finally available for order at Vodafone UK. It can be claimed right at this time for anywhere between free and £85.11 (6) depending on plan.

Think you need to go all-in on a postpaid contract to get the bes. crap a carrier has to offer? Well, Truly often you do — but not on Vodafone in the UK, where its recently-declare Christmas lineup contains perfectly decent fare like the Samsung Steel and Omnia for £80 and £400, respectively. Granted, that’s a little (okay, a lot) more than you’ll pay on contract, but at least the options are there, right? Those two comprise part of a monstrous 16-phone lineup declare to lead Vodafone through the holiday sales rush, which includes the high-horsepower Sony Ericsson C905 and X1, the Nokia N96 16GB, and the BlackBerry Storm on contract, among a host of others. Voda sweetens the pot for buyers of the Samsung G600, Nokia 6500 Classic, and Sony Ericsson K770i by throwing in a digital photo frame, which particularly comes in handy with the G600’s respectable 5-megapixel resolution. All told, the lineup’s a little overwhelming, but if we had to choose between an overwhelming lineup and an anemic (read: American) one, you know which one we’re picking ten times out of ten.

Remember that mysterious LG KS500 we spotted slouching at the FCC’s main desk back in August? No? It’s all good — Vodafone is apparently looking to remind you by introducing the definitely so-so slider with its own logo. Obviously, there’s still a great chance we North Americans see this one over in this place in due time, but whatever ends up happening, this in this place handset boasts tri-band GSM connectivity, dual-band UMTS / HSDPA support, a QVGA display, 3-megapixel camera, 100MB of built-in memory, a microSD card slot, aGPS and an optical touchpad that should make navigating through menus a bit more enjoyable. No mention of a price just yet, but it ought to start filtering out in some form or fashion in Q4.
