    An extremely well-equipped Pocket PC PDA-phone, Dopod has made sure that the 3G-enabled 838 Pro balances features with power so it doesn't leave you hanging when you need to access applications like Skype. However, due to its size and weight you might need a bag to carry it around.

  • Vertical PDAs: On the road again

    The choice of operating system for a personal digital assisant (PDA) is effectively down to two— Palm OS or Pocket PC—but the variety of choices for the handheld itself is very impressive. We test three of the best, and see what’s coming up soon.

    An incremental upgrade to the Atom, the Atom Exec is an incredibly feature-rich, well-designed smartphone.
