| Review summary | The Mio A701 is a decent GSM/GPRS/GPS handheld with some nice features, although it lacks Wi-Fi. We aren't the biggest fans of Mio Map, but you can buy this device without the navigation software and install another application 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 |
