The i320 is one of the best designed smartphones on the market. It has a brilliantly designed and solidly manufactured body, a full QWERTY keyboard,...
good synchronisation abilities, sound internet and email access. It has a familiar UI in the form of Windows Mobile 5 for Smartphone and there are plenty of useful pre-installed applications. It’s also a non-smartphone size and weight – 11.5mm thick, less than 100g.
Neat design touches include a single long keypress on a function key to lock the keypad, a powerful LED flash embedded in the frame for the camera lens, and a cleverly organized keypad which can be operated one-handed (with the right thumb if you’re holding it in your right hand). Despite the fact that your thumb will cover nearly a third of the keypad, typing is surprisingly easy.
Thanks to the built-in Windows Media Player you will be able to play video in WMV format as well as music in MP3 or WMA formats.
Ok, there’s no WiFi and it’s not 3G. The USB connector isn’t the standard miniUSB plug, and there aren’t many third-party apps available for the OS. The glossy black case attracts fingerprints. And that’s about it on the downside.
• A great smartphone, a good business phone.
