Typical price: £260

What is it: Handheld organiser featuring Windows Mobile 2005 Pocket PC Phone Edition

What we think: Its sliding keyboard makes it very easy to create and edit documents on the move, but it lacks the immediacy and sound quality of some mobile phones

Review summary	The XDA Mini S is an exceptional handset that stands out thanks to its clever sliding Qwerty keyboard. It uses the very versatile Windows Mobile 2005 Pocket PC Phone Edition operating system and includes Pocket Word, Excel, PowerPoint and more. It suffers from bad audio quality during calls, but if you need to get work done on the move it's ideal 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	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	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
