Win an HP iPAQ Glisten phone

By Becky McCray

HP and AT&T sent me a Glisten for a review (which I tweeted). As a follow up, they want to give one to one of you.
HP iPAQ Glisten
You can read about the Glisten’s technical specs from AT&T. My take? The screen is bright (like, readable in the sunlight bright), and the battery life beats the heck out of my old Moto. Even for a non-smartphone person like me, it was pretty easy to figure out. I also like the fact that it’s a world phone: quad band means it can work on practically any cell network in the world. (In fact, I turned down the last phone I was offered for review because the carrier did not cover my rural corner of the world!)

Check out the sponsors’ Twitter accounts: @ATTnews and @HP_PC.

Here’s how you enter:

  • Send a tweet to me (@beckymccray). Include the hashtags: #HP #ATT. Tell me how using the Glisten would help your small business. 

    The one with the most convincing tweet wins! Mom will do the judging, and judges decisions are final. :)

    Deadline: Monday, March 8, 2010, 10pm central time.

      Darn, I missed this contest. Oh well I am on Verizon anyway. Locked in a family plan and all that. That is cool you are getting phones to review!
