Windows Mobile 6.5
Has Windows Mobile found its vibe?
7 October 2009 8:55 GMT
- The Good
- New homepage and honeycomb menu, MyPhone sync is great

- Dive into the menus and options and it is still that same old Windows Mobile, small button presses still require a stylus on occasion

29 October 2009 15:24 GMT
- The Good
- Social network integration, affordable, HSDPA

- For those who want a compact and affordable phone, which offers the integration of the major social networks, then the INQ Mini 3G is well worth a look. But do try the keyboard as we found this the most annoying aspect of the device

- HTC additions resolve clunky Windows Mobile 6.5 issues, FM radio, compact

- The Good
- Good hardware, bags of potential, multitasking options
- The Bad
- Battery life, lack of apps, lacks aspect switching
- Verdict
- The N900 is an extremely capable handset but it needs aspect switching for the home pages, it needs the Flash support enhancing and it needs to develop the app offering. Until these things arrive the N900 is a supporting role, rather than the star of the show
