The Touch Pro2 is the ultimate corporate smartphone in terms of features, but it’s just too big and beefy.

A powerful phone with a superb keyboard, but it’s simply too costly to win an award

Sumptuous design, a fantastic screen and a high-quality feel. Not as easy to use as an iPhone, but far more powerful

Costly and fiddly to use, despite a decent keyboard and high-resolution screen.

The Blackberry Storm 9500 is luxurious and innovative in equal degree, but the slightly cheaper Bold is better to type on.

A real do-it-all device, but Nokia needs to do better to compete with the iPhone.

A great keyboard, wonderful screen and loads of features, but battery life is weak and it’s a touch pricey

HTC's new Blackberry killer arrives on our desk, and it's every bit the showoff we thought it would be - and that's mean as a compliment.

The Ultimate 9502 is a heavy, chunkier unit that boasts some useful improvements over its predecessor, including classier Foxtel Mobile viewing thanks to better resolution.

A stylish update to a phenomenal phone, but battery life and the bundled GPS software weigh it down

Fantastically engineered, but a bit too bulky for comfort.

Fantastic hardware. The GPS software is mediocre, but you can buy your own.

Expensive, but the features are packed in. Just note the lack of Wi-Fi and some strong iPaq competition.

Easier to use than the q1 and cheaper, but battery life is a concern

A promising debut for UMPCs, but the controls are tricky to master

We were disappointed with the Que navigation software on Garmin’s iQue 3600, but the Pocket PC version is a step in the right direction.

The 650 really picks up where the 600 left off, and while it doesn't look too different to the eye, many of the changes are under the hood or subtle manipulations of the 600's design. It runs the new Palm OS 5.4 and has a much faster 312MHz Intel PXA270 processor, but the most immediate difference is the screen: it's now double the resolution at 320 x 320.

The new Sony Ericsson P910i is the only true phone/PDA hybrid on review in this roundup so aesthetically it marries some of the largeness of a PDA with the slimness of a phone to end up with a unit that's just right: it's not too big and not too small.

The XDA (January 2003, page 41) and the XDA II have both done well in PC Authority reviews before, but our main complaint has been one of size: the XDA's are normal PDAs, but big phones. The XDA IIs still keeps a large touchscreen, but the unit is slightly slimmer and thinner than the previous models.

The new Nokia Communicator  unfortunately evokes early '90s mobile phones: it has a long body, small display and is not something you could slip into a pocket. Closed, the 9500 is monstrous, but when you open its sideways clamshell design the 9500 comes into its own.
