More Samsung reviews , RRP: AU$899.00

The good:

  • Superb slim design
  • Bright screen
  • Fast performance
  • Includes spare battery

The bad:

  • Awkward keyboard
  • Relatively short battery life
  • Uses GSM instead of 3G

The bottomline:

The BlackBerry popularised the concept of push e-mail, but Samsung's i320N is one of several promising "BlackBerry killers" jostling for a share of the lucrative business arena as well as self-employed mobile professionals and power users.

Editors' rating:

8.5/10

    • Motorola MC75

      Motorola MC75

      Enterprises looking to deploy a rugged, versatile mobile device will be impressed by the Motorola MC75's range of features. However, you pay a premium for smartphone functionality in a hardened form; this phone is not only tough, it is massive to the point of being unwieldy.

    • HTC S740

      HTC S740

      HTC took the Touch Diamond's glossy black frame, stripped away the touchscreen, added a QWERTY keyboard and called it the S740. This latest Windows Mobile smartphone should deliver the same business messaging punch as the popular Diamond.

      HP iPAQ 612c Business Navigator

      HP's latest iPAQ, the 612c Business Navigator, is a solid offering with lots of features and good battery life. It's a bland-looking and giant handset, but good performance and crisp touchscreen somewhat make up for the poor keypad.

    • Asus P750

      Asus P750

      The Asus P750 may be chunky, but it packs in a huge array of features. Combined with an equally impressive software bundle, the result is an excellent multifunction handheld that should appeal to a wide range of mobile professionals.

      BlackBerry Bold 9000

      The Bold is what BlackBerry fans have been waiting for. It's feature-rich and sharply designed, let down in small measure by some cumbersome software.
