Wi-Fi Handhelds

Nokia N810 Internet Tablet

If you're making your first foray into the mobile Internet devices, the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet is a sleek and Web 2.0-friendly choice. It's a slightly niche attraction, but with the addition of a Qwerty keyboard and integrated GPS, it's a more widely appealing device

HP iPAQ 114 Classic

While most companies are all about convergence these days, the HP iPAQ 114 Classic handheld is completely the opposite. Harkening back to the days of the traditional PDA, it's an excellent performer with a transreflexive screen perfect for use both outdoors and in

Mio P560

The Mio P560 is a Windows Mobile handheld with built-in sat-nav with a sizeable screen and a load of memory. The 89mm (3.5-inch) screen is complemented by a generous allocation of 4GB of flash storage. With the addition of an SD card reader, the Mio is surely spacious

iRex iLiad

The iRex iLiad has the best screen we've seen on an ebook reader -- it's made using E Ink technology, which doesn't flicker and doesn't use a backlight. It also has built-in Wi-Fi. But is that enough to make us burn our paperbacks?

T-Mobile Ameo

The T-Mobile Ameo walks a tricky tightrope between smart phone and ultra-mobile PC. Yet it somehow manages a neat balancing act, impressing with its vast screen and blistering HSPDA connection, despite its finger-torturing keyboard

HTC P4350

HTC's P4350 is a small Windows Mobile handheld device with a slide-out keyboard, similar in design to the HTC TyTN. It has all the features you need for email and document editing on the go, as well as a 2-megapixel camera

Nokia N800 Internet Tablet

The Nokia N800 Internet Tablet is a touchscreen device that's bigger than a phone or handheld but smaller than a laptop. It's designed primarily for surfing the Internet and its exceptionally sharp, clear screen is ideal for that purpose, but it relies on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth for connectivity, which renders it useless in many scenarios

O2 XDA Orbit

The Orbit is the first XDA model to come with built-in GPS and bundled navigation software (the excellent CoPilot from ALK), and packs a good deal else into its slim frame: FM radio, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, Windows Mobile and an excellent trackball control in addition to its touchscreen

E-TEN glofiish X500

The strangely monikered E-TEN glofiish X500 is an exceedingly thin Pocket PC with built-in GPS and Wi-Fi. At £429 it's not a pocket-money toy, however it comes with a good range of features, including a 2-megapixel camera, an FM radio and a huge array of software extras. The battery life is extremely impressive, too

HP iPAQ rw6815 Personal Messenger

Although the 'Personal Messenger' moniker makes it sound like a cheap novelty, the stubby iPAQ rw6815 is as adept at picking up your email and linking up with office networks as the next Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC. It does have a disconcerting habit of talking to you, though

Fujitsu Siemens Pocket LOOX T830

You get the feeling the designers of the Pocket LOOX T830 asked themselves what components a Pocket PC could possibly contain and then proceeded to pour them all inside the casing, one by one, including 3G and GPS. This is a feature-rich device, but it's also large, and expensive

Orange SPV M3100

For a relatively small Pocket PC, the M3100 has tonnes of features. It supports Orange's own push-email service, as well as location-based services. It runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 so you can access documents or IM on MSN Messenger. For connectivity you've got 3G, quad-band EDGE, infrared, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

T-Mobile MDA Vario II

T-Mobile's MDA Vario II has HSPDA support, allowing super-fast Internet access at speeds of up to 1.8Mbps. It's not exactly a small handheld, but it does benefit from a slide-out keyboard, and with the addition of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a 2-megapixel camera, you'd be hard-pushed to find a better smart phone on the market

HTC TyTN

The HTC TyTN is one of the company's best devices to date. Not only is it the first Windows Mobile device with HSPDA, but with the plethora of other connectivity options and the slide-out Qwerty keypad, this is definitely a Pocket PC to be reckoned with. It's rather chunky though -- we'd like to see smaller Wi-Fi-enabled devices in the future

i-mate JAMin

The JAMin from i-mate is based around HTC's Prophet design. Its small frame contains a quad-band GSM phone with GPRS and EDGE support, ideal for those who are looking for a Windows Mobile device and want to be able to use it for voice calls without feeling conspicuous -- it also boasts a 2-megapixel camera with 10x digital zoom

Acer n311

Acer's Windows Mobile 5.0-based n311 has a 94mm, 480x640-pixel screen, integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and plenty of memory. A solid, no-frills handheld, it offers decent battery life and an adequate processor. Infrared fans will be disappointed by its absence, though

Editor's rating 7.8

Orange SPV M600

Orange's SPV M600 is a rare breed -- it's a handheld computer that is small, light and practical enough to double as a mobile phone. It features a touch-sensitive screen, a 2-megapixel camera with macro mode function, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, infrared and a bunch of applications, making it a well-rounded device

T-Mobile MDA Vario

T-Mobile's MDA Vario is a small but highly usable handheld. It has all the functions of a mobile phone and a PDA, plus it has a clever sliding Qwerty keyboard that gets the most out of its included software. It suffers from unintuitive dialling and poor call quality, however, so don't use it as a phone very often

HP iPaq rx1950

A slim and light PDA that doesn't cut corners on performance or battery life, the rx1950 uses the Windows Mobile 5 operating system but skimps on a few features here and there, most notably Bluetooth, but if you're on a budget it's a very capable handheld

Nokia 770 Internet Tablet

The 770 is an oddity -- not quite a handheld organiser, it's a portable Internet device that connects to the Web through the wonder of Wi-Fi. The screen is a little too small and it doesn't have enough memory to run multiple applications, but it's reliable and feature-packed
