2.6in capacitive touchscreen, webOS, slide-out keyboard, cute form factor

No confirmed Australian release, no expendable memory

HP's Veer smartphone may have a tiny footprint, but it still includes all the benefits of the webOS platform, along with a physical QWERTY keyboard.

Speedy webOS experience ; Tiny and cute ; Responsive, durable touchscreen

Petite frame isn't for everyone ; Sub-par camera ; Poor selection of apps

Easy to use interface ; Stacked cards ; Great search ; Aggregated contacts ; No memory issues

Poor camera and video ; Too small for serious use ; Hard to see screen ; Few compelling apps ; Poor battery life

In the beginning, there was Palm. The company created the handheld/smartphone category with the original personal digital assistants in 1996. Now, following an HP acquisition about a year ago, it's emerged with a new super-tiny model, the HP Veer.

Beautiful design. Very easy to use. Excellent voice quality.

Tiny screen. Physical keyboard may be too small for some. Few apps. Not actually 4G. Dismal magnetic headphone jack. Some Bluetooth bugs.

Apps and Performance That said, a webOS handset could be perfect for anyone who wants a physical keyboard, but finds Android difficult, buggy, or confusing. Not the Veer, though. The 2.6-inch screen gives the Veer a genuinely cramped feeling; you often...

Great QWERTY keyboard ; Cute design ; New additions to webOS are solid

Performance is spotty ; Not all webOS apps are compatible ; Screen is far too small

From a pure features and apps perspective, it’s easily bested by iOS and Android devices in the same price range

Better constructed than previous WebOS phones ; New multitasking features are awesome ; WebOS intuitive and pretty to look at

Display is quite small ; Keyboard is hard to use

Running WebOS 2.0, the HP Veer 4G has some incredibly useful multitasking and social networking features, but the supercompact design and tiny keyboard aren't for everybody.

Unfortunately, there's no memory card slot, instead you get 8GB internal memory. Elsewhere connectivity includes HSDPA, a-GPS, A2DP and WiFi )b/g/n). The HP Veer also works as a portable WiFi hotspot, for getting up to five other devices online,...
