| Review summary | If you can live with a 71mm screen, relatively little on-board memory and no built-in Wi-Fi, then Orange's SPV M500 is a good choice of handheld/phone combo Read full review |
E-TEN's glofiish X500 is an accomplished Pocket PC with GPS antenna, Wi-Fi and FM radio among the standout features. It has good battery life and a range of software extras generous enough to make some other Pocket PC vendors blush Read full review |
We like O2's upgraded xda IIi handheld/phone combo as much as we liked the xda II -- which is to say, a lot Read full review |
Although its battery life could be better, i-mate's PDA2 is a well-specified SIM-free Pocket PC/phone that's VoIP-ready out of the box Read full review |
