HTC Touch 3G
Amongst the numerous HTC handsets this year, the unassuming Touch 3G may not make the strongest impact, but it is certainly one of our favourites.
-
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.
-
MWg Atom V
MWg's first Australian release is a solid Windows Mobile smartphone at a reasonable price, let down in part by sluggish performance.
-
HTC Touch Pro
The Touch Pro is a step in the right direction for HTC. It's still a bit sluggish but overall it performs better than the Diamond, plus the keyboard is a winning touch.
-
Palm Treo Pro
Beneath its iPhone-esque exterior lurks a very capable business phone.The Palm Treo Pro may not have the snazzy interface designs of the competition, but this means it performs better in most areas.
-
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.
-
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.
-
HTC Touch Diamond
It's hard to hate the beautifully designed and feature-rich HTC Touch Diamond, though its frequently laggy interface did test our patience, and its battery life is a concern.
