TomTom MOBILE 5 review

Friday 30 December 2005, 6:06 PM

Excellent sat-nav inch perfect commands and maps


Installed this on my Orange spv C600 with bluetooth adapter (£33 from mobilefun) and worked fine. Tested it yesterday and picked up where i was exactly, used the speed camera database from pocket gps (http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/uksafetycameras.php)
and this worked fine, even warned me when i was 300yards from a camera.

Go get it!

Verdict

TomTom MOBILE 5's smartphone-based navigation features are more than a match for the competition. The low-capacity flash memory card and initial pairing issues with the Bluetooth GPS receiver are our only complaints.

Typical price

£ 203

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.
