Arne Hess reviews the Compaq iPAQ GSM/GPRS Wireless Pack on his site, Pocket PC Writer.net. Looks like quite the piece of hardware! Arne says that even when the iPAQ is off, the GPRS sleeve can receive a call and wake the iPAQ up. And with a standby time of 180 hours and 4 hours of talk time, it's on par with most cell phones.
"The Compaq iPAQ Wireless Pack for GSM/GPRS Networks broadens the functionality of Compaq iPAQ H3600, H3700 and H3800 Pocket PCs to include data and voice capabilities. The Wireless Pack combines Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) technologies to allow users to access the Internet and send and receive email and Short Message Service (SMS) messages, in addition to making wireless phone calls. The Wireless Pack essentially converts the pocket PC to a mobile phone and wireless data device that can be easily and conveniently taken anywhere also because it supports GSM 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz."
