Overview

HP iPAQ Data Messenger

Editors rating
Rating: 7.5
Verdict

HP's new flagship iPAQ has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a neat D-pad and a good set of connectivity features. However, HP has missed some key tricks that would make this an excellent rather than very good Windows Mobile smartphone.

Typical price

£ 444

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.
