Outstanding features: A Windows Mobile phone powered by an Intel PXA272 416 Mhz chip.

This is a tri-band phone with EDGE, WLAN (translated from jargon, this means it is wi-fi enabled phone and you can use it at coffee shops like Barista and airports that offer access to the Net), FM radio, Infrared, Bluetooth and a high-resolution 2-megapixel camera. The display is huge, with 2.7-inch TFT touch screen and 262K colours. A stylus is provided.

It supports MP3, WMA, WAV and AMR audio formats. The camera quality is great and videos look good. Sound quality from the stereo speakers and bundled earphones is excellent.

Drawbacks: Slightly sluggish in performance, coupled with a body and screen prone to finger smudges. The lack of a keypad makes it a little uncomfortable to use.

Final word: Based on Windows Mobile OS 5.0, this is a complete PDA phone that can replace your laptop. The 2-megapixel camera and huge screen make it more appropriate for capturing moments, but it is priced way too high.

Cost: Rs 38,000 (Maximum Retail Price)
