HP Veer: smallest smartphone in the webOS stable, 2.6-inch display, coming this spring
Posted in: breaking news, BreakingNews, HP, palm, qualcomm, smartphone, snapdragon, Today's Chili, video, webos
You wanted a small smartphone? Well, you’ve got it in HP’s Veer, the very first webOS-based device to bear the HP name alone without Palm’s alongside packing Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7230 processor at 800MHz. Other headline specs include a 2.6-inch 320 x 400 display, 5 megapixel EDoF camera, HSPA+ support, 8GB of storage, an accelerometer, proximity and light sensors (as usual), Touchstone compatibility, and mobile hotspot support. It’s genuinely cute — but keyboard usability will be a big question that we’ll need to have answered when the phone is released this spring. No word on carriers yet, and pricing is set to be decided upon “at a later date.”
Update: Added the full press release and a demonstration video after the break, and our hands-on with the device can be found here!
