18 million handsets sold as customers demand new features.

End of the line in sight for unconnected handhelds.

New Java FX technology joins rich internet application frenzy.

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

A stylish and rugged business-class smartphone with a huge choice of push-email clients available.

The myS-7 from Sagem is the company's first foray into the smartphone market with Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system. It's a little larger than the Xphone II but this marginally wider neck means that keys are just that tiny bit wider, and when your main mode of input is the keypad this tiny extra can work wonders.

Plenty of modern phones support email, of course, but what always made BlackBerry special was its push technology. With this, you don't need to dial up to collect your email: just sit back and wait for the messages to come to you. Wherever you are, if an urgent email comes through to any of your email addresses -- and the 7100v supports up to 10 -- you can act on it instantly.

Three devices aimed at business and enterprise users.

A desirable form factor that doesn’t compromise on usability.

A great smartphone – particularly for ‘voice’ users. But we’d like to have seen the ‘touch’ technology run deeper.

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

Some useful features and cheaper than TomTom’s One. But there are some issues.

The F20 is damned by the similarly-priced TomTom which is superior in every way.

Sleeker than the original, this BlackBerry continues the messaging workhorse tradition we've come to expect.

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

Ah, convergence. This Nokia shows that if you throw enough technology at any one device, you can replace a few others.

A quirky UMPC, halfway between a full-blown laptop and the Origami concept.

When we first reviewed the hw6515, we were bowled over by how much HP has managed to cram into such a small device.

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.
