Verdict

T-Mobile's latest connected handheld is the first from a UK network operator with a built-in GPS receiver. The lack of Wi-Fi is a major drawback, however; we'd also like to see the wide-area connectivity upgraded from GPRS to 3G.

Typical price

£ 249.99

Featured Talkback

Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP? A Windows Eee won't come with any useful applications and you'll have to buy anti-virus software to boot. The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
