CNET editors' buying advice
We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on Smartphones. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of smartphone.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth allows your mobile phone to wirelessly connect, via low-frequency radio waves, with external devices such as a headset for making calls. Many Bluetooth cell phones also allow you to exchange or sync data with other Bluetooth devices or to connect to stereo headphones to listen to music. For more information see CNET's Quick guide to Bluetooth.
Windows Mobile
Originally regarded as little more than Microsoft's answer to Palm, the Windows Mobile (formerly Pocket PC) operating system has come into its own. In February 2007, Microsoft released Windows Mobile 6 and brought a collection of noteworthy improvements, including added functionality to the Calendar and Contacts applications and an e-mail search function. With each subsequent OS upgrade comes more enhancements to make handhelds and smartphones easier to use.
The Windows Mobile operating system syncs with Microsoft Outlook and only Microsoft Outlook (though a third-party program called The Missing Sync allows for synchronization with Macintosh systems). The recently updated ActiveSync utility makes this a seamless, nearly instantaneous affair, though Microsoft inexplicably removed a few desirable features, like the option to sync your PDA with your computer via Wi-Fi.
While Windows Mobile provides robust business productivity, it also provides superb multimedia functions. Smartphones or PDAs running Windows Mobile can play DRM-protected music, videos, and even streaming television if your service provider has that capability.
