Review Summary

The Omnia is a good alternative to the HTC Touch Diamond with a competitive price and a truckload of features, though Samsung does need to work on the interface to improve its consistency and usefulness.

Unlike Palm, RIM has built up an impressive product portfolio that is made even better by the addition of the Bold. Aside from offering a plethora of features, the Bold's screen is one of the best we've ever seen.

While it probably won't strike a chord with the average iPhone user, the Touch HD is a great effort from HTC, demonstrating that it can still put more into its already formidable range of high-end handsets.

Sony Ericsson's first attempt at a Windows Mobile phone is a good one which will satisfy productivity and entertainment needs.

One of the most responsive Windows Mobile PDA-phones we have used, the Touch 3G is a must-have for those who loved the original but wish to upgrade to a 3G device.
