Summary
- The HP iPAQ hw6515 features a larger 3.0-inch TFT resistive touchscreen with a resolution of 240 x 240 pixels, while the Qtek 8500 has a smaller 2.2-inch TFT display with a higher resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, resulting in a denser pixel density.
- In terms of performance, the iPAQ is powered by a 312 MHz Intel PXA270 CPU compared to the Qtek's 200 MHz ARM926EJ-S, giving the iPAQ a slight edge in processing power.
- Both devices have a 1.3 MP rear camera, but neither offers optical image stabilization or a front-facing camera.
- The iPAQ has a larger 1200 mAh battery, while the Qtek's battery is 750 mAh, which may affect overall usage time.
- Software-wise, the iPAQ runs on Windows Mobile 2003 SE, whereas the Qtek operates on Windows Mobile 5.0, which may provide a more updated user experience.
- Build quality favors the Qtek with a lighter weight of 99g compared to the iPAQ's 165g, and a slimmer profile.
