Handhelds buying guide

By CNET and CNET Asia staff

Current handhelds with cellular capabilities mostly cost close to S$1,000 (US$736.25), with many of them exceeding that amount by quite a fair bit. That's hardly pocket change to most people. It is thus imperative to pick the right device before swiping that credit card. If you are feeling lost because of all the options, don't worry, we've put together a guide that will help you with your decision.
