Small size is welcomed in a market of huge phones, Refreshing webOS interface, QWERTY keyboard is quite usable, Screen is more responsive than any Android device
Screen is too small for many users, Proprietary charge port, Audio jack requires a dongle, Poor camera with no autofocus, No microSD storage slot, Screen whittles down webOS app selection, Not a true 4G device
HP is brave to try something new, and we applaud the company’s courage, but the Veer is not a phone for everybody....
It is really hard to say who HP has tailored the Veer for. Its petite, pocketable size, as well as its QWERTY keyboard, suggests that it is meant for a younger, social-networking-savvy crowd. The robust multitasking, account syncing, and search tools...
Abstract: Though the hardware clearly appeals to a niche market, webOS is back on a carrier. Aaron takes an in-depth look at the HP Veer 4G , one of AT&T's newest smartphones. Powered by an 800 MHz processor, the Veer has a 2.6-inch display, 5-megapixel camera, ful...
In the end, I’m having a hard time figuring out who HP built this phone for. It’s obviously not for power users, so to think of it from the perspective of a tech savvy smartphone lover is a waste of time. Is it for tweens and teens? Maybe. AT&T’s $15 s...

Abstract: We've just gotten our review unit for the HP Veer 4G, and we figured we'd better get this thing unboxed for you guys sooner than later. It's the newest webOS device for AT&T, and this thing is tiny. If you thought the Pre or Pixi was small, wait until you...
Super compact form factor, Solid construction, Fluid platform experience
Slow “4G” speeds, Cramped keyboard, Below average battery
As much as we absolutely adore is quaint form factor, we find that it’s also its Achilles Heel at the same time. Specifically, we’re limited in our output with certain functions, like typing up messages or reading emails, that seem to make it become mo...

So small it's hard to use, So small it's hard to use, So small it's hard to use, So small it's hard to use
Adorable compact design, solid build quality, webOS is easy and fun to use, 4G, good keyboard, good battery life, keyboard is comfy to type on despite being cramped,
Display is rather small, performance isn’t so great, camera is mediocre, no builtin headphone jack, No HD video recording
Despite all of its pitfalls, we cant help but be charmed by the HP veer. We also do like webOS a lot, even though it can use some performance improvements. Maybe it's a “girl thing”, but we showed the HP Veer off to both males and females, and while t...
