Verdict

HTC's S710 is ideal if you're seeking a smartphone with a full keyboard that can fit comfortably in your pocket. We'd have liked to see 3G support though.

Typical price

£ 290

Featured Talkback

Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP? A Windows Eee won't come with any useful applications and you'll have to buy anti-virus software to boot. The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
