Nokia N800 Internet Tablet review

Nokia N800 Internet Tablet review

Review A definite improvement on its 770 predecessor, the Nokia N800 includes a faster processor, more memory, dual expansion card slots, a webcam, stereo speakers and an integrated stand. However, it still relies on Bluetooth or Wi-Fi for internet connectivity, and business users may find the software bundle somewhat limited.

HTC P3600 review

HTC P3600 review

Review HTC's attractively packaged P3600 offers excellent local and wide-area wireless connectivity, including HSDPA. However, it's expensive without an operator subsidy and battery life could be better.

HP iPAQ rw6815 Personal Messenger review

HP iPAQ rw6815 Personal Messenger review

Review Although it includes a phone, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the iPAQ rw6815's phone lacks 3G, the Wi-Fi is only 802.11b standard and Bluetooth is the 1.2 version. If you can live with this functionality, this is a neat enough Windows Mobile device.

T-Mobile MDA Compact III review

T-Mobile MDA Compact III review

Review 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.

i-mate JAQ review

i-mate JAQ review

Review i-mate's bulky JAQ could suit those who find many keyboard-equipped handhelds hard to use. In opting for this device, though, they will have to put up with decidedly average design, specifications and performance.

Palm Treo 750v review

Palm Treo 750v review

Review It may lack Wi-Fi, have a cramped screen and use proprietary cables, but we like the Treo 750v a lot. Palm's usability enhancements to Windows Mobile 5.0 are particularly well implemented.

HTC TyTN review

HTC TyTN review

Review With its excellent feature set, including HSPDA support, the Windows Mobile 5.0-based HTC TyTN and its variants from network operators could be the ideal compromise between size and functionality.

TomTom GO 910 review

TomTom GO 910 review

Review The GO 910 performs its core navigation task very competently. The wide-screen format is an improvement, and the software is generally well presented and usable. However, it remains to be seen how much users really want the extra features TomTom has added.

Navman iCN 720 review

Navman iCN 720 review

Review The iCN 720 is a high-quality navigation device, with excellent usability and on-screen information display. Although it's intriguing, we're not convinced that NavPix will have the revolutionary effect that Navman is hoping for.

Acer n311 review

Acer n311 review

Review Acer's Windows Mobile 5.0-based n311 has a large VGA-resolution screen, integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and plenty of memory. Infrared fans will be disappointed, though.

Mio A701 review

Mio A701 review

Review The Mio A701 is a decent GSM/GPRS/GPS handheld with some nice features, although it lacks Wi-Fi. We aren’t the biggest fans of Mio Map, but you can buy this device without the navigation software and install another application.

Editors Choice Award Garmin nüvi 350 review

Garmin nüvi 350 review

Review Garmin's nüvi 350 is a compact and well thought-out navigation device with a few extra strings to its bow, including the ability to act as a USB mass storage device. Recommended, if you can afford it.

BenQ P50 review

BenQ P50 review

Review A long delay between announcement and UK availability means that BenQ's P50 connected handheld now looks somewhat long in the tooth. Although it has some good points, many may wish to wait for the recently announced Windows Mobile 5-based P51.

ViaMichelin Navigation X-930 review

ViaMichelin Navigation X-930 review

Review ViaMichelin’s first attempt at a standalone GPS navigation device is very impressive, but more attention needs to be paid to the software.
