According to WM Experts, the iPaq 610 will not be coming a US debut although it will launch globally.

According to HP, unspecified legal problems will prevent the phone from launching State-side. Hopefully these legal issues will not spread to the rest of the converged iPaq phone line.

The phone was unique in that it had a touch-sensitive directional pad/slider on the numeric keypad itself. The phone had quad-band GSM, tri-band 3G, GPS, WiFi, VOIP, and 3 megapixel camera with flash.
