Pros
Cool design ; lots of wireless features ; accessible memory slot ; easy-to-use camera

Cons
Camera lacks self-portrait mirror and flash

Verdict
The HTC P3600 is a lovely little Pocket PC with just about every trick up its sleeve. It looks good, it has every flavour of connectivity you could imagine, it packs plenty of memory and its front-facing camera means 3G video calling is on the cards

Summary
At the moment there's no word on availability except for Orange France where the SPV M700 can be had for €299 upwards when bought with a contract in black and white variants.

Summary
HTC's attractively packaged P3600 offers excellent local and wide-area wireless connectivity, including HSDPA. However, it's expensive without an operator subsidy and battery life could be better.

Pros
Supports quad-band GSM, EDGE, 3G and HSDPA, Integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and infrared, Attractive design

Cons
Battery life could be better, Expensive without a network operator subsidy

Verdict
HTC's attractively packaged P3600 offers excellent local and wide-area wireless connectivity, including HSDPA. However, it's expensive without an operator subsidy and battery life could be better...

Pros
Glossy design, excellent scroll wheel, HSDPA, solid feature list

Cons
mini-USB connector for headphones, fingerprint magnet, no keyboard, voice quality could be improved

Verdict
If you can live without a slide out QWERTY keyboard, the D810 is an excellent option for those after a HSDPA smart phone. Sleek, stylish yet still packed with features, it comes highly recommended, although price is steep.

Summary
Orange has updated its Windows Mobile PDA phone and whacked another 100 onto its name.

Verdict
There's almost not a bad word to say about the SPV M700. Its 400MHz processor and 128MB SDRAM are sufficient to handle the phone's capabilities. Connecting to Wi-Fi network is an absolute doddle, and the M700 is quad-band phone so you don't suddenly ...

Summary
If you've been thinking of getting a Smartphone, Orange's latest SPV might well push you over the edge.

Verdict
If you want a 3G Pocket PC that is small enough to use for voice calls yet includes a built in GPS antenna, then this could be just what you are looking for.

Summary
HTC's P3600 has been taken up by Orange and rebadged as the SPV M700. In itsnew incarnation, this sleek and well-built 3G/HSDPA device benefits from attractive pricing and from having its integrated GPS receiver enabled by default.

Pros
3G and HSDPA support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and infrared connectivity, GPS receiver, Compact, lightweight design

Cons
Runs on Windows Mobile 5.0 rather than the newer Windows Mobile 6

Summary
The Dopod D810 is packed with a bevy of useful features including 3.5G HSDPA support, quad-band GSM, and Wi-Fi, but suffers from some glaring shortcomings.

Pros
Excellent interface, Numerous connectivity options, Good battery life, Sharp and vibrant display

Cons
Slow processor, Lacks FM radio, Expensive, Lacks 3.5mm audio jack

Verdict
The Dopod D810 is packed with a bevy of useful features including 3.5G HSDPA support, quadband GSM, and Wi-Fi, but suffers from some glaring shortcomings such as slow processing speeds and barely passable camera.

Summary
Relatively new to Australia, Dopod was first seen down under on the mass market when Three took on the 838Pro and 565 models earlier this year. The D810 is the latest handset to be picked up by Three, and is loosely based on the 838Pro.

Summary
It's still a great compact PDA-phone with a ton of features, but regrettably, this HTC doesn't address some of the shortcomings of its predecessor, the Dopod D810.

Pros
Fast 500MHz processor ; 256MB internal flash memory ; wealth of connectivity options

Cons
Still no bundled GPS maps ; fingerprint magnet ; no audio jack

Verdict
Aesthetically, what can be said about the D810 can be repeated for the P3600i. It's black, it's compact, and still weighs the same at 150g. Emblazoned across the top left corner and on the battery cover of the P3600i are two HTC logos, the only ...
