HP Veer 4G
The smallest of the WebOS devices announced back in February, the HP Veer 4G hits AT&T stores on May 15 at a price of $99.99 with a two-year contract.
Adorable but flawed
The Veer 4G is one of the cutest phones we've ever seen, but its small size does more harm than good. The 2.6-inch display makes it difficult not only to view Web pages and maps, but even to perform simple tasks like reading e-mails and using the onscreen dialer to make a call.
Keyboard
The Veer's slide-out QWERTY keyboard takes some getting used to due to the smaller buttons and cramped layout, but with some practice you can learn to deal with it.
Magnetic connector
The Veer is so small that HP couldn't fit a headphone jack or Micro-USB port into it, so instead you get a magnetic connector on the side where you can connect a headset adapter (shown here) and the charging cable. We found this didn't work well, since the adapter juts out from the side, making it vulnerable to being ripped off, and it's also so small that we're afraid that it will get lost at some point. The proprietary connector also means you can't use a Micro-USB cable to charge your device.
Left side
The left side of the phone features a volume rocker.
Camera
The HP Veer 4G is equipped with a 5-megapixel camera, but it lacks a flash and editing tools.
Picture quality
Despite the lack of editing options and flash, we were impressed with the picture quality. Images came out sharp and with bright colors. The camera did have trouble with nighttime shots and video quality was quite murky.
