Overview

Samsung SGH-i300

Editors rating
Rating: 7.7
Verdict

This Windows Mobile smartphone is remarkable for its internal 3GB hard drive, which, although primarily targeted at music fans, could prove useful to business users too. Samsung's bundle of software extras are also a plus point for the well-featured, if somewhat bulky, SGH-i300.

Typical price

£ 498
