| Review summary | The HP iPaq hx2790 is a handheld organiser for those who are looking for a traditional, business-centric approach to ultraportable computing and don't mind paying for it 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 |
