"It's OK but could try harder"

What I like:

Compact, the aesthetics, handy little radio

What I don't like:

NO Wi-Fi!!!?? or 3G and processing speed only 200mhz. Annoyingly no headphone socket, so stuck with the very average headset provided. Fiddly micro SD card under sim card slot

Review:

Some nice alterations and improvements from the Compact II but not really worth upgrading to if that's what you have. A nice little PDA that doesn't look like you're holding a brick to your ear, but would really have been considerably better had the phone had Wi-Fi or 3G. Just got the Compact III after my Compact II was broken. Personally, I'm waiting for T-mobile to take on the HTC 3600 (if they do) as its considerably faster (400Mhz) has Wi-Fi and therefore capable of running skype and reducing my overseas phone bills. Compact III is not a bad phone at all, especially with co-pilot but a few too many weaknesses to earn it a great review. Ideal if you're only slightly techy but not if you want to be at the cutting edge of PDA technology and use all the facilities that that can offer.
