Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • Well designed and lightweight
  • SureType predictive messaging is excellent
  • Integrated GPS
The bad:
  • No 3G or HSDPA
  • No widescreen for video
  • Poor quality camera
  • No Wi-Fi
The bottomline:

If you're choosing between the 8110 and the Wi-Fi enabled 8120 we recommend you choose the latter. Both handsets are virtually identical, however, the absence of GPS in the 8120 is easily replaced with a Bluetooth GPS receiver.

Editors’ rating:

7.5/10

RRP: AU$699.00
