Reviews

MWg Zinc II

The Zinc II looks great on paper with HSDPA, Wi-Fi, a touchscreen and QWERTY keyboard. However, poor design mar the experience, with input being tremendously frustrating.
HTC P3470

Even with GPS and its expected lower price-tag the P3470 will struggle without Wi-Fi or 3G data speeds.
Road Angel Navigator 3000

The Road Angel Navigator 3000 enters the entry-level GPS fray and provides formidable competition. We wish it came with an AC charger and better instructions, though.
O2 Xda Atom Life

The Atom Life tries very hard to bridge the gap between serious business tools and lifestyle gadgets. It's surprising, then, that it's a better business tool than fun phone.
ASUS W5Fe

Well built and mostly comfortable to use. Whether you'll find SideShow, is a matter of individual taste. If so, it's the perfect Vista laptop; if not, there are cheaper and better alternatives.
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.
Palm Treo 750

A bevy of OS enhancements and access to Telstra's Next G mobile broadband network easily make the Treo 750 the best Windows Mobile device we've ever used.
Sony Ericsson W950i

Convergence? Yeah, Sony Ericsson's heard of it... This is an excellent MP3 phone let down by a clunky PDA interface and no camera.
