Overview

T-Mobile Ameo

Editors rating
Rating: 7.8
Verdict

The Ameo is a well-specified and generally usable Windows Mobile 5.0 device with a large screen and an attachable keyboard. But despite all its built-in functionality, which includes HSDPA and GPS, we suspect that few mobile professionals are likely to replace their notebooks with one.

Typical price

£ 429.99
