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

Size
Review:
I've had this phone since October 2007, and i bought it second hand. I have only had one problem so far - and that was because i had it unlocked, occasionally it rejects my sim card, but that is solved by a simple turn off and back on again.
Design: The only fault for me is the size, its chunkier than my SPV C500 was, so sometimes at football matches i have a bit of a problem. The keyboard is great, the buttons on it are perfect size for typing. The MiniSD card is at the top of the phone instead of behind the battery which is great.
Rating For Design: 8/10
Features: Perfect. Does everything right and if there is something it doesnt have (i havent found anything yet), then it is so easy to put it on. With my SPV C500 it took me 5mins to put a new application on because it took so long to install, with this i can do it within 30 seconds. I don't use the microsoft office much but the occasional times i have used it, it has been great.
Rating For Features: 10/10
Performance: Perfect again. Everything works. And for the first time, The help feature actually helps!!!!!
Rating For Performance: 10/10
Overall: Superb.
PS - At people saying 'crap call quality'. you need you ears testing. There is nothing wrong with it. It is much better than any other phone i have had, and i have had a lot.
Hope thins helps.
Thanks
Steve
