Overview

Sony VAIO VGN-TZ11XN/B

Editors rating
Rating: 7.3
Verdict

The svelte VAIO VGN-TZ11XN/B is a real eye-catcher of an ultraportable. However, its integrated graphics prevent it being an all-round performer and it lacks built-in 3G connectivity. It's also rather expensive.

Typical price

£ 1531

Review Although it's missing some features (chiefly HSDPA and GPS), Nokia's E63 is a well-thought-out, ergonomic and affordable smartphone.
