Pocket-Lint: HP launched the Veer at the beginning of the February. We know we’ve already brought you a first hands-on of it at the time, but now the dust has settled we were able to get a second longer play with the new mini model at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and wanted to share that with you.
The HP Veer is among the first WebOS smartphones to be released through HP rather than Palm. The Veer is also among one of the smallest smartphones currently available. This HP Veer review covers the design, display, performance, user interface and features of the smartphone.
Awesome review, but the phone looks like a copy of some htc phone, i don't remember it correctly.
Engadget: These two smartphones probably couldn't be any different if they tried -- on the left, we've got the tiny 2.6-inch HP Veer with webOS on board, and on the right is Samsung's Infuse 4G, a giant 4.5-inch Android that costs twice as much on contract.
Engadget: "HP's Jon Rubenstein told us that his company wanted to veer in a new direction, and veer it surely did -- the HP Veer 4G will arguably be the smallest fully-functional smartphone on the market when it goes on sale May 15th. In a nutshell, it's a Palm Pixi Plus in the guise of a Pre, only in a delightfully downsized package with webOS 2.1 and thoroughly modern functionality."
What I really like is how fast the Veer seems to be. Gives me high hopes that HP will get the faster processors of the pre3 and the touchpad working well with the webos software, "fingers crossed".
