We like:
HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity; fingerprint reader
We don't like:
Audio quality during calls; chunky design
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The Toshiba Portege G500 comes packed with connectivity options, making it great for keeping in touch. Speaking of touch, there's a nifty fingerprint scanner on the back for unlocking the phone and scrolling through emails or Web pages. Our only niggles are that it's a little on the portly side and the audio quality during calls isn't fantastic
