Motorola Q: a first look

Preview The Motorola Q packs a Windows Mobile 5 smartphone in a Razr-like form factor.

Samsung SGH-Z107 & O2 3G review

Review The Samsung SGH-Z107's lack of Bluetooth and limited memory may deter some business users, but video call quality is excellent, the twin batteries are useful and the phone itself is compact.

i-mate SP3i review

Review This compact and lightweight Windows Mobile-based smartphone has a lot going for it, although anyone with large fingers may prefer a more substantial device with bigger keys.

Sanyo S750 & Orange 3G review

Review Sanyo's S750 is a well featured slide-open 3G mobile, while Orange's 3G services are aggressively priced. The handset can be used as a modem for a notebook or handheld, but there may not be enough on offer to tempt large numbers of business users.

Siemens SK65 review

Review Siemens' SK65 is a business-focused smartphone with built-in BlackBerry functionality and an innovative twist-out keyboard. Frivolities like a camera and an MP3 player are conspicuously absent.

Nokia 9300 Smartphone review

Review If you don't need a camera or Wi-Fi, Nokia's 9300 Smartphone makes a very capable data-centric mobile companion.

O2 BlackBerry 7100x review

Review O2's version of the BlackBerry 7100 offers a smart design and a custom main screen. It's a capable email-centric smartphone, although it lacks Wi-Fi and an expansion slot.

Sony Ericsson V800/Vodafone 3G review

Review Sony Ericsson's V800 is a well-featured and user-friendly, if rather large, 3G phone. Vodafone's 3G service isn't especially compelling, although you can use the phone as a 3G modem for a notebook computer.

TomTom MOBILE review

Review Although it's currently available for a restricted number of Symbian and Windows Mobile devices, TomTom MOBILE is a capable and competitively priced navigation solution for smartphones.

Vodafone BlackBerry 7100v review

Review Vodafone's BlackBerry 7100v is a fair mobile email device so long as you don't need to handle graphics, large spreadsheets or complex documents. But as a handheld/phone combo it's eclipsed by more capable Palm OS- and Windows Mobile-based offerings.

Nokia 9500 Communicator review

Review Mobile professionals who need access to contacts, basic office documents and communications facilities will find that Nokia's 9500 Communicator covers the bases very well indeed.

Sony Ericsson P910i review

Review This improved smartphone from Sony Ericsson is an excellent companion for the mobile professional.

Orange SPV C500 review

Review The SPV C500 is a distinct improvement on its predecessors: at the fourth attempt, Orange has come up with a Windows Mobile-based smartphone that many people would be happy to carry most of the time.

Vodafone launches BlackBerry smartphone

Preview Smaller and lighter than the Treo 600, Vodafone's new BlackBerry 7100v eschews the thumb keyboard that made the original famous. But it's a much better phone than previous models.
