"Perfect for me"
What I like:
Like harware capabilities
What I don't like:
Hate buggy/complex windows software
Review:
This is the best PDA phone I have ever used. Good bits are screen, speed, internet, email. Bad bits nasty annoying bits of windows mobile 6, XT9 and Actice Sync etc. For example I could not sign to MSN with out disabling GPRS. It only works on WIFI for me.
To speedup this device you will need to disable XT9 there is no option but I believe live MSN removal will help too. Also microsoft active sync is buggy. You need to be carefull with USB connection although I think bluetooth should be ok.
All in all it is exceelnt hardware far ahead than poor windows mobile capabilities. I believe Microsoft monopoly on PC operating system is keeping development possibilities limited. It is a shame that they are charging fortune but provide unreliable softwares.

Clicking touchscreen may be useful for clumsy people, but ditching the Qwerty keyboard has its drawbacks
INQ Mini 3G
Sluggish at times, and not the easiest phone to use, but it offers a great range of features at a low price
