Good

6.7

View score

The good: Wide range of connectivity options; GPS built-in; bundled local maps; comes with Windows Mobile 6.1.

The bad: Horrible QWERTY keypad; only 64MB RAM; no front camera for video calls; heavy and bulky.

The bottom line: Not the best of efforts from in terms of innovation, usability and price. MWg needs to do better to keep abreast of the competition.

Good PDA Phone

Aug 13, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)

Cons: Heavy
Opinion:

Feels superb when using and holding it in hand

Jul 28, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Suitable weight and screen size. MS 6.1 does have some interesting new changes that proves useful in daily life.
Cons: Keyboard lightning a bit dim and the internal memory is not enough.
Opinion:
I would actually rate this as 9/10 product but due to the small internal memory, I couls not install as much programs as I like, therefore a 8/10 rating. Luckily in Singapore, AGIS map is bundled with it and therefore I will not get lost anymore or having flip through my thick street directory for directions. I find the SMS chatting pattern useful as I do not have to search through my inbox to find a single SMS from a contact.

 

Stable, nifty device that does what it promises

Jul 28, 2008

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: great great battery life, handy keypad,
Cons: Boring Microsoft interface (more a Microsoft issue though)
Opinion:
used a couple of WM devices, this is by far one of the better built and stable ones. I found the interface speed for processing apps surprizingly fast, battery last me through the weekend without charging (even with scheduled push mail.)

It may not be as sexy as an Iphone, but it does what it promises, and the conveniences of syncing with my PC far outweighs the need for phone candy. It's even faster than the HTC Touch Diamond, which is a kink in HTC's armour, being the more experienced manufacturer.
