E-TEN Glofiish V900
Reviews The Glofiish V900's USP is its integrated digital TV tuner, which unfortunately doesn't perform well when on the move. Otherwise, it's a well-specified Windows Mobile handheld.

O2 Xda Orbit
Reviews The Xda Orbit 2 combines a strong set of features with good battery life. The HTC TouchFLO system may not suit everyone, but if you disapprove, you can simply ignore it.
E-TEN Glofiish M800
Reviews We are impressed with the range of functions and capabilities E-TEN has built into the Glofiish M800. However, the touch-sensitive buttons on the front are a serious design error, as they interfere with usability to the point of annoyance.

T-Mobile MDA Compact III
Reviews T-Mobile's latest connected handheld is the first from a UK network operator with a built-in GPS receiver. The lack of Wi-Fi is a major drawback, however; we'd also like to see the wide-area connectivity upgraded from GPRS to 3G.
E-TEN Glofiish X500
Reviews A quad-band GSM/GPRS Windows Mobile 5 handheld with integrated GPS and Wi-Fi, the Glofiish X500 packs a lot of functionality into its slimline frame. You get a useful bundle of applications too.
E-TEN Glofiish X500+
Reviews The Glofiish X500+ isn't the most attractive of handhelds, but it packs in a huge range of features. Some of the software extras may have limited appeal to business users, but the core Windows Mobile 6 Professional bundle has plenty to offer mobile professionals.
