Top 5 slim handhelds

Most of the time, when we say a handheld is "slim", we actually only mean that it's merely "not horribly fat." Let's face it, with so many features packed into PDA-phones these days, it's not easy to get them looking like a Motorola RAZR or Samsung mobile phone. But that's not to say manufacturers aren't trying. You may not be able to find one under 10mm, but there are a few that won't create too much of a bulge in your pocket.

	1.	LG KS20   First take Already launched in Europe, the KS20 is quite the looker. It's similar to the Prada phone, which is good since that mobile phone was quite well-received. Under the hood, the KS20 has HSDPA connectivity and runs Windows Mobile 6 Professional. We expect to see it in Singapore in February but LG is currently unable to confirm its wider Asia-Pacific availability. Dimensions: 99.8 x 58 x 12.8mm See full specs | Rate this
	2.	HTC Touch (2nd generation)   CNET Asia rating: 7 out of 10 The good: Very compact design; Windows Mobile 6 Professional; TouchFLO interface; attractive modified Home screen; 128MB RAM makes interface snappy. The bad: Lacks 3G; poor SIM card and microSD slot design. The bottom line: With more color choices and much better performance due to the increased RAM, the enhanced Touch is what the original should have been to begin with.

	3.	Samsung SGH-i780   First take Samsung is by no means prolific when it comes to Windows Mobile devices. That's fine, as long as the ones it has are good. The SGH-i780 is the Korean company's first touchscreen Windows Mobile device in a long while, and we got the chance to play with a pre-production unit. Here's our take. Dimensions: 115.9 x 61.3 x 12.9mm First take | See full specs | Rate this
	4.	BlackBerry Pearl 8120   CNET Asia rating: 8 out of 10 The good: Wi-Fi; 3.5mm headphone jack; external microSD slot. The bad: Smallish screen; average camera; lack of 3G. The bottom line: The 8120 Pearl is a tidy addition to the BlackBerry family and irons out our niggles with its predecessor. That said, if you already own an 8100 we're not sure if it's worth buying the 8120 unless you value the updated features it has to offer.

	5.	MWg Atom V   First take The successor to the Atom Life, this handheld will be one of MWg's first PDA-phones since it took over O2 Asia's device business. Though small, it will have quite a number of features including HSDPA, FM radio and even GPS for navigation. Last we heard, it will be available in Q1. Dimensions: 116 x 59 x 14.95mm See full specs | Rate this
