    The Explain Series

    • ASUS A696

      ASUS A696

      This slimline, brushed metal phone-less PDA packs GPS and Bluetooth, but somehow manages to miss out on Windows Mobile 6.

    • Vodafone 1210

      Vodafone 1210

      Want a Blackberry, but can't stretch the business budget to afford one? Vodafone's 1210 might suit your needs, but you'll need to put up with a lot of compromises along the way.

    • ASUS P735

      ASUS P735

      A handheld with good features for the business user, but those who want the latest HSDPA and GPS options may have to look elsewhere.

    • Mio Digiwalker P350

      Mio Digiwalker P350

      Mio's Digiwalker P350 isn't a stunning PDA. It isn't a stunning GPS, either. It's still a good unit, however --- read our review to find out why.

    • O2 Xda Stealth

      O2 Xda Stealth

      O2's Xda Stealth looks a lot like a regular slider phone, until you flick it open and notice the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, push e-mail capabilities and built-in Wi-Fi support.
