According to recent reports by BargainPDA and PocketPCItalia, the new iPAQ 6300 is due in the US sometime in April. At an expected price of $699 or more, the first iPAQ Pocket PC Phone is expected to be a hot item. The HP iPAQ 6300 will be the first Pocket PC Phone to include all the wireless options including quad band GSM/GPRS, Bluetooth short range networking, and 802.11b Wi-Fi. The Bluetooth option will be especially nice as it will allow for wireless headsets to be used.
