1 Windows CE PDAs / Pocket PCs
Smartphone & PDA Essentials
Issue 57/2007
On test: E-TEN Glofiish X500
"ETEN's PDAs have graced our pages before, and it's no surprise that the company's latest offering crams the features in as though it has bought a job lot and wants to get them into the market as quickly as possible." Review details: Single Test    Test results
"Palm Treo 680"
1 Windows CE PDAs / Pocket PCs (approx. £25)
Smartphone & PDA Essentials
Issue 57/2007
On test: Palm Treo 680
"Palm has been rather quiet for a long while. Its last handheld to appear was the Windows Mobile-based Treo 750v which we reviewed in issue 54, but to find the last Palm OS-based device from the company you would have to go back to October 2005 for the Z22 and TX, and the best part of two years for the last Palm-powered Treo."

"Hewlett-Packard used to set the standard for Windows Mobile handhelds, with the remainder of the market trailing in its wake. But that time is long gone, and the company now slugs it out with a small army of competitors. HP's latest device, the iPAQ rw6815 Personal Mobile Messenger is intended to be small in size and big on connectivity. How well does it live up to that billing?"

On test: HP iPAQ rw6815
"Once upon a time, HP was firmly at the front of the Windows Mobile Pocket PC pack, its new ranges of devices eagerly awaited, particularly within the business community, which is where it focussed its attentions. That’s changed as more and more companies have come on board the Pocket PC bandwagon, and these days, HP is more within the pack than leading it. This is not to say that the company doesn’t still turn out good devices, just that the competition is tougher, and HP has had to work hard to survive. It is in that context that the iPAQ rw6815 Personal Messenger has to be evaluated. It’s ironic that HP dubs it a ‘personal messenger’ because equipped as it is with Direct Push, a corporate could let employees synchronise calendar, contacts, tasks and email over the air. It would be a good way to use its support for Tri-band GSM, GPRS and EDGE." Review details: Single Test    Test results

On test: HTC P3600
"HTC’s last batch of products includes two Windows Mobile smartphones, the S620 and S310, and two Windows Mobile Pocket PCs, the P3300 and the P3600. The P3600, reviewed here, has a SIM slot and — unusually for a Pocket PC — it supports HSDPA. In due course we may see network operators offer it as a subsidised handset on their 3G networks, but at present it's only available SIM-free from vendors such as Expansys."

"We see a lot of Windows Mobile devices, and it's not too often that we open the box and think first about how cool the device inside it looks. But when we opened the box of the HTC P3600 we aren't ashamed to admit that the white and silver design grabbed our attention." Review details: Single Test    Test results

On test: Mio P350, Acer n311, Palm Z22 Handheld, Palm TX Handheld
"You get a lot of handheld for your money, these days. It wasn't so long ago you'd be looking at four to five hundred quid for a decent device. But not any more. Sure, some of the high-end Pocket PCs and smartphones can still set you back the same sort of amount you could spend on a perfectly serviceable laptop, especially when bought Sim-free, but the average user can set their sights far lower and still be satisfied with what's on offer." Review details: Four budget handeheld computers were reviewed and rated based on features, value, style and future-proofing. Scores ranged from 6 to 9 points out of 10.    Test results

"Back in April 2004, Mio’s Digiwalker 168 impressed me as the first PDA to feature a integrated GPS receiver. Considering two and half years have past the Mio Digiwalker P550 should be bowling me over with how far things have moved on but in Pocket PCs terms the changes are not as marked as I would have hoped."

"The Mio P350 is the latest GPS enabled PDA from the Mio “DigiWalker” stable. The distinct difference between this model and previous A201 version is that the GPS receiver is now part of the PDA case – no more flipping out an extra blob. This is good – right? It certainly looks better." Review details: Single Test    Test results

On test: E-TEN M600+
"E-TEN’s PDAs are always somewhat distinctive. When I reviewed the G500 with its built in GPS antenna back in May, a key design element was some piping around the front fascia that glows blue all the time the device is switched on. Thankfully E-TEN has abandoned that particular characteristic with the M600+ which updates an earlier SIM supporting Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC, the E-TEN M600."
