What is it:
Feature-packed Windows Mobile smartphone

We like:
Thinner design; sturdy casing; HSDPA; wi-fi; GPS; 3.5mm headphone jack

We don't like:

It lacks the finesse of the BlackBerry Bold and wow of the iPhone but it works well and is a good choice if you're looking for a Windows Mobile phone that does what it says on the tin
