Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The HP Veer is for people who don't want to carry a tablet PC as a phone. The best part is that it's fully compatible with the webOS ecosystem, including the HP TouchPad and all the already-available Palm Pixi apps. This is a great phone, even for power users. The magnetic headphone connector is a little strange, but maybe it's time to get a nice set of bluetooth headphones anyway.

You'll have access to the web (with Flash support), apps, social networks, and more on a smartphone that's no thicker than a deck of cards.
And with AT&T's 4G network, you'll enjoy mobile broadband speeds up to 4x faster than AT&T's already fast mobile broadband network (learn more below). You also get the AT&T Mobile Hotspot service built right into the smartphone--enabling you to connect additional Wi-Fi-enabled devices to the phone's mobile broadband signal (requires appropriate data plan).
The HP webOS operating system provides true multitasking and quicker switching between multiple apps. You'll also be able to seamlessly connect to multiple web services--from Facebook and LinkedIn to corporate Microsoft Exchange accounts--on a single screen with the updated HP Synergy feature.

Get More Done, Have More Fun with HP webOS

One Contact, Multiple Sources Let's say you have contact information in Microsoft Exchange for a coworker who is also a Facebook friend. With HP webOS, all of that contact information is combined in one simple view, so finding the mobile number, e-mail, or address you need is easy. Just tap your friend's name and it's right there. It's the same for information from Google, LinkedIn, and Yahoo!
View E-mail Accounts Side by Side Customize your e-mail inbox and view all of your accounts together or separately. Mark the folders you use most as favorites for faster access. See work e-mail alone--or combined in a favorites folder with personal e-mail from places like Gmail or Yahoo! Mail.
Text, Multimedia, Google Talk, AIM, and More The HP webOS combines your messaging conversations with one person in the same view. Which means you can start chatting in, say, AIM, and then pick up the conversation later in Google Talk or even as a text message.
Real Web Sites The web browser on your HP smartphone isn't a mobile browser that only shows text or watered-down versions of websites. It displays full HTML sites just like on your Mac or PC. Play video, upload photos, do online banking, and more.
Built-in GPS HP smartphones come with built-in GPS, enabling location-based services in apps like Foursquare, Google Maps, Yelp, and more. With a tap, you can allow these apps to share your location or find things you need.
Get a Music Store at Your Fingertips Buy and download music right from your HP smartphone using the Amazon MP3 app. Search by new releases, genre, or simply by typing a few letters. Then purchase with just one tap. Songs purchased from the Amazon MP3 store are DRM-free, which means you can take your music with you and share it with your other devices.

AT&T 4G Network
This phone runs on AT&T's dual-band 850/1900 MHz 4G network (UMTS/HSDPA/HSPA+), and with HSPA+ you'll experience mobile data speeds up to 4x faster than ordinary mobile broadband--up to approximately 6 Mbps (download). AT&T has deployed HSPA+ to virtually 100 percent of its mobile broadband network, which enables 4G speeds when combined with enhanced backhaul (via Ethernet or fiber).
Backhaul is one of the major pieces of a telecommunications network. Think of it as the limbs connecting AT&T's cell towers with AT&T's backbone network that provides access to the Internet.
Coming later in 2011, AT&T will deliver a second layer of 4G network called LTE (Long Term Evolution) that is even faster than HSPA+ speeds.
In areas where either AT&T's 3G or 4G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways.
Note: AT&T's 4G mobile broadband coverage is not available in all areas. 4G speeds delivered by HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul; availability increasing with ongoing backhaul deployment.
