  • Relatively small for a device with both an integrated mobile phone and a GPS receiver; some well thought-out user interface elements; available with and without navigation software
  • Lacks Wi-Fi and infrared; postcode navigation is not seven-digit, making it difficult to use; battery life could be longer
  • The Mio A701 is a decent GSM/GPRS/GPS handheld with some nice features, although it lacks Wi-Fi. We arent the biggest fans of Mio Map, but you can buy this device without the navigation software and install another application ...

  • Large screen, smaller than the others in the test, 1.3 megapixel camera, new SiRF Star III GPS receiver
  • GPS first phone second, no qwerty keyboard, no Wi-Fi
  • Great for those wanting more than just a phone with a supped up address book, but not looking to go down the full blown PDA route
