Mitac Mio 558 review

Monday 13 June 2005, 9:16 PM

Unstable and impossible to get spares


Very impressed at first, then realised constant crashing was not down to finger trouble. On one occassion completely reset itself and lost all info that wasn't backed up. Battery failed after 6 months - spare impossible to find, as is supplier of spare stylus. A good design concept that fails to live up to its promise.

Nokia E63

Review Although it's missing some features (chiefly HSDPA and GPS), Nokia's E63 is a well-thought-out, ergonomic and affordable smartphone.
