Advantages: Small, light, good battery life, excellent screen
Disadvantages: limited on the application front

Out of the box the BE300 is a lovely looking piece of equipment. Very stylish with it's flip down screen protector and permanent screen icons. When you turn it on you are dazzled by the clarity of the screen images. The contrast and colour definition of this device are amazing making everything easy to see. The stylus has a soft feel to it, making it comfier to hold and the screen is very responsive. The CF slots lets you expand the meagre storage ...
...once the basic programs are loaded) as much as you like. Add to that the programs are very easy to use, once you get the hang of the menu system that is and you have a lovely machine.............but.......... This is one of Casio's 'Pocket Manager' range, which means it isn't a Pocet PC as we know it. Any program you want to run has to be compiled specially for the BE300 so you can't just put any software on there. There are a lot of programs out ... Read review

...pcmcia wireless card and my casio had the CF wireless card. because his ipaq didnt have a CF card slot, his pda became almost 3 times the size of mine! the casio e-200 still runs on the older pocket pc 2002 OS, lacks bluetooth, gprs, has limited bundled sftware and much of the fancy stuff most high end ppc's will get you nowadays, but if you can still find this baby at stores, get a hold of it.

Advantages: Does most things it should simply and well whilst still being phone sized
Disadvantages: Viewing some attachments is virtually impossible

...I also get a blackberry instant message from a mate asking if I want to go for lunch. Nice! On the train to work I look at the emails to see what I'm going to face when I get to the office. Not much to worry about so I fire up the brickbreaker, the 'pearl' in the middle has taken some getting used to with brickbreaker but I'm starting to get some decent scores. More seriously though the 'pearl' at first is a little awkward but before long you're ...
...can get it on the blackberry as it's a word doc (pdfs I don't even bother trying because it's a nightmare with the blackberry). On the way home I catch up on a few emails, the predictive texting is ok and takes some getting used to but I'm a speed demon on it now so I can ping off a couple of emails within five mins. Sort that out and then text the wife to let her know my train time. I wouldn't say this is a smart phone, personal digital assistant ... Read review

Advantages: Massive internal memory with option to expand, large 2.8" display, wi-fi support, 5 MP camera
Disadvantages: Same battery as n95, annoying camera button, no light sensor or integrated graphics chip

...sleeker than both the original Nokia n95 and the n95 8GB. This is in part due to the removal of the camera slider which was present on the n95 and it is also using the same battery as the original n95 (950MhA). This could be seen as a disadvantage considering the awful battery life of the original n95, this problem was somewhat addressed by Nokia with the release of the n95 8GB which included a higher capacity battery (1200MhA). However Nokia have ...
...in landscape mode. This time Nokia have realised this by the inclusion of a "kick stand" on the back of the phone positioned under the camera. This acts as a stand so the phone can be angled at viewing pleasure when it is placed upon a surface. The camera itself is the same from the n95 and n95 8GB and like the n95 8GB this does not contain a slider for extra protection. Nokia have now included dual LEDs for flash photography but I personally would ... Read review

Advantages: Great looking, very easy to use
Disadvantages: Poor Battery

After recently getting the Blackberry Bold I thought I'd share my thoughts about it. Traditionally a Blackberry is known for being solely aimed at the business market with one of its main selling points being the fact that you have constant email access which is of course very important for some people. They were not aimed at the consumer market in terms of looks or capabilities. However, the Blackberry Bold (BB) aims to change that. With the recent ...
...the Blackberry isn't so businessey and may have some appeal to the consumer market. The BB has been very much designed not only for practical reasons, but also in order to attract potential new customers. Gone are the brick like Blackberry's and in is the very attractive looking Blackberry Bold. Design Looking at the phone from the outside it certainly looks very good. On the front you are presented with a full QWERTY keyboard which is sized very ... Read review
