Brighthand have published their review of the HP iPAQ Glisten Windows Mobile Professional 6.5 smartphone. 'The Glisten is nice-looking, with angular features and an overall sleek appearance. It's mostly black, aside from cool hematite accents on both sides of the device. The material on the back is rubberized, so it's comfortable to grip and won't serve as a fingerprint magnet. It sits in the sweet spot as far as weight is concerned, between "so light it feels like a toy" and "so heavy I don't want to carry it." The Glisten feels substantial, but not too weighty, and fits comfortably in a pocket.'

A review of the HP iPAQ Glisten Windows Mobile Pro smartphone has been posted over at MobileTechReview. 'The HP iPAQ Glisten is sold by AT&T in the US and it has 3G HSDPA on AT&T's bands as well as 2100MHz for Europe and Asia. It's a quad band GSM world phone with EDGE for those places that are devoid of 3G coverage. It has a 2.5" AMOLED touch screen and it runs Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional. The Glisten is powered by a 528MHz Qualcomm CPU and it has 256 megs of RAM and 512 megs of flash memory. There's a fixed focus 3.1 megapixel camera on board as well as a full complement of wireless: GPS, Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR and WiFi 802.11b/g.'

Laptop Magazine have published a review of the HP iPAQ Glisten Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone.. 'The 4.4 x 2.5 x 0.5-inch Glisten is aesthetically reminiscent of BlackBerry devices, with its rounded corners, curved top and bottom edges, and generously sized keys. The phone is about the same size as the BlackBerry Bold 9700 and the Samsung Jack, though it takes more design cues from the former. The lightweight device fit comfortably in our hand, and weighs just 4.7 ounces. A rubber-feeling plastic graces the top and bottom of the device and extends across the back of the phone, lending the Glisten some durability.'

Pocket Now have published a review of the HP iPAQ Glisten Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional smartphone. 'The HP iPAQ Glisten has a Qualcomm MSM7200A CPU running at 533MHz on Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional. It has 512MB ROM (200MB accessible), 256MB RAM (~140MB accessible), and has a microSD/HC expansion slot for added memory. The resistive AMOLED touchscreen is 2.5" and is QVGA 320x240 resolution. It's a quadband GSM (850/900/1800/1900) phone with triband UMTS (850/1900/2100) with HSDPA. It also has assisted GPS, WiFi b & g, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, USB 2.0, and a proximity sensor. For audio, the Glisten has a 3.5mm headphone jack, and for syncing and charging there is a microUSB port. The rear camera is 3MP with no autofocus or flash. Powering the device is a 1590mAh battery.'

InfoSync World have published their review of the HP iPaq Glisten Windows Mobile 6.5 smartphone. 'Though the HP iPaq Glisten uses a dazzling AMOLED display, the best looking display technology we've seen, it's mostly wasted on this device. The phone gets the most basic multimedia software available, the simple, unintelligent Windows Media Player suite. Windows Media Player does a poor job finding and managing your music and videos. Once you've loaded your files properly, the player controls are tiny, and there aren't many features on board. It seems even Microsoft has abandoned the aging player. We clicked on the Web link on the WMP screen, and were taken to a page that said it was best viewed by a Windows Mobile device. Clearly, the base media experience on Windows Mobile needs an update, and HP might be the only manufacturer left completely relying on WMP for music and video playback.'
