HP's Glisten: A Solid, Unremarkable Windows Mobile Smartphone
29.03.10
The full QWERTY keypads raised keys make typing as easy as it can be on a smartphone. There are convenient buttons to launch the calendar, messaging and the smartphone GPS apps, too. If you hold the OK button down for a few seconds, up pops the phones camera/video recorder app. A dedicated button to turn Wi-Fi networking on and off is located conveniently up top, not far from the power button.
The Glisten gives you a variety of navigation choices. The 2.5-inch display is touch-sensitive and you can use either your finger or the included stylus to tap and select, scroll and dig through menus.
This being a Windows Mobile phone, you can count on some menu digging. However, the Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional OS (operating system), which the Glisten uses, offers interface improvements over earlier versions that make navigation a bit easier. For instance, the Today screen contains your most important stuff -- such as email, text messages, voicemail and appointments -- in an easily scrollable list.
