Smart phones have been one of the big subjects of 2003. But how close are we to the dream of a single device, great for voice, multimedia and various data apps, one equally at home in a high-powered meeting or down the pub?
Optus last week acknowledged it had evaluated a platform that claims to use the processing power of "smart" phone handsets to deploy and run applications more effectively than browser-based alternatives.
As a user of Microsoft's ActiveSync for some years, I've always viewed it as an essential but utterly shoddy piece of software...
The Flame promises a lot, and delivers a lot -- both in raw size and features. It is sadly let down by its battery life, however.
O2's Xda Stealth looks a lot like a regular slider phone, until you flick it open and notice the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, push e-mail capabilities and built-in Wi-Fi support.
With a faster processor, the Xda Zinc has a slight performance edge over the Dopod 838 Pro but falls short by a slight margin in terms of aesthetics. Unless you're looking for a QWERTY handheld, there are more options out there.
It has Wi-Fi, a 2-megapixel camera and runs on Windows Mobile 5.0, yet shares the same dimensions as the Xda II Mini. Find out what the hype on the Xda Atom is all about.
O2's latest PDA/phone-hybrid, the Xda IIs, adds a slide keyboard, Wi-Fi, a quad-band antenna and improved battery life to its predecessor.
