At first glance, the HP Veer might seem like a bite-sized feature phone. Trust me when I say this couldn’t be further from truth. Dubbed the world’s smallest webOS phone to date, taking the title from the Palm Pixi, the HP Veer delivers a true webOS experience in the size of a credit card and thinner than a deck of cards.
Fueled by an 800 MHz processor and measuring just 15.1mm in thickness, there’s plenty of power inside the petite, HP Veer. Beneath the 2.57 inch glass (320 x 400 pixel) display is a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Inside you’ll find 8GB of storage, integrated-GPS, and the same array of radios found on the HP Pre 3.
As with all webOS devices, Adobe Flash Player 10.1 beta is in tow, delivering a “complete” web browsing experience. Synergy brings the HP TouchPad, HP Pre 3 and HP Veer together, allowing complete device interaction. To power the pocket-friendly Veer, a 910 mAh rechargeable battery is included.
The HP Veer is a world phone, touting tri-band UMTS and quad-band GSM/EDGE support. Like the Pre 3, the Veer features a 5-megapixel camera, 3.5mm headphone jack and the full line up of email account support. Think of the Veer as a smaller, slightly slower, Pre 3 with total webOS functionality.
The HP Veer is expected to land in early Spring, and like the HP TouchPad and Pre 3, exact pricing and availablity will be announced at a later date. With three new webOS devices schedule to be on display at MWC 2011, we’ll have our work cut out for us. If there’s anything you’d like us to confirm on the handset, feel free to drop us a line.
Coming Spring 2011 | HP | TBD
