Microsoft Smartphone/Windows Mobile 6 Standard Edition Models
Samsung BlackJack Nov. 2006 The 3rd Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone Edition with a QWERTY Keyboard to hit the US market, the BlackJack SGH-i607 might just be the best. It's got great ergonomics (with a few caveats), a lovely display and best of all, really fast 3G data on Cingular's HSDPA network. The BlackJack is slim, sexy and weighs only 3.5 ounces yet it has a surprisingly roomy keyboard, a good 1.3MP camera and Bluetooth 2.0. It's a quad band GSM smartphone offered by Cingular in the US. |

T-Mobile Dash and HTC S620 Nov. 2006 One of our favorite smartphones. The Dash and its unlocked near-twin the HTC S620 came out at the end of October. This super-slim and attractive quad band GSM Windows Mobile Smartphone has a very usable QWERTY keyboard and a landscape 320 x 240 pixel display that's just fantastic. It's got EDGE for data, WiFi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 and a 1.3MP camera. Certainly one of this year's hot MS Smartphones. The Dash sells for a modest $199 with contract from T-Mobile and the S620 will set you back a few hundred more. |

Cingular 3125 Sept. 2006 You're going to flip over this phone. Puns aside, this clamshell Windows Mobile Smartphone has brains, good looks and a low price tag. It's a member of the HTC STRTrk family but it improves on other variants by adding twice the flash memory, 50% more battery capacity and it has good reception as well. The quad band 3125 is offered by Cingular in the US and it has EDGE for data, Bluetooth and a 1.3MP camera. Editor's Choice 2006 |

Samsung i320 Sept. 2006 This Motorola Q killer is smaller, sleeker and faster than the fabled Q. Alas it's not offered by US carriers but you can buy it from importers unlocked for use with any GSM carrier. This triband phone has EDGE, Bluetooth and a wickedly fast 416MHz Intel XScale processor. And let's not forget a small but very usable QWERTY keyboard and a decent 1.3 megapixel camera with flash. |
||
QTEK 8500 Sept. 2006 This is one of several versions of the device code-named HTC STRTrk (Star Trek for those who like their vowels). It's one of the few clamshell MS Smartphones and it does bear a resemblance to its namesake, the Star Trek communicator. This is a Windows Mobile 5 quad band GSM phone with EDGE for data. It has a 1.3MP camera, Bluetooth and is sold unlocked by importers in the US. It's the kissing cousin to the i-mate Smartflip and Cingular 3125. |

Motorola Q June 2006 The brainy RAZR we've all been waiting for is finally here! The Q in no way resembles Motorola's past smartphones (and that's a good thing). It sports fresh RAZR-esque looks, fast and reliable technology inside and a vivid landscape display. This smartphone is available on Verizon's network in the US and it offers EVDO for 3G data speeds, good voice quality, Bluetooth and a QWERTY keyboard. Its 312MHz Intel XScale processor keeps it humming along nicely and it has a miniSD slot to save the 1.3MP camera's photos as well as any data you wish. |

Cingular 2125 April 2006 Cingular's latest MS Smartphone runs Windows Mobile 5, and though it looks very much like the Audiovox SMT-5600 it replaces, a lot has changed under the hood. The 2125, which is a close cousin to the T-Mobile SDA features a 1.3MP camera, Bluetooth 1.2, a great 240 x 320 pixel display and easy syncing to Outlook on Windows desktops. This quad band GSM phone has both GPRS and EDGE for data, and has MS Office viewers and the usual Windows Mobile MP3 and video playback panache. |
||
T-Mobile SDA Feb. 2006 This is the US model, which is an HTC Tornado variant. It's a quad band world phone running Windows Mobile 5 on a zippy 195 MHz processor. Though compact it's loaded with a 1.3MP camera, Bluetooth, WiFi, a lovely 2.2" QVGA display and EDGE for fast data. It's dubbed the music phone thanks to its dedicated playback control buttons on the front face and MP3 playback capabilities thanks to the included Windows Media Player 10 Mobile (while Media Player isn't unique to the SDA, the dedicated buttons are unique to the HTC Tornado design and T-Mo in the US). it's basically the US version of the i-mate SP5m reviewed below.

Motorola i930 Dec. 2005 This is Nextel's first Microsoft Smartphone. It may be late to the party but it offers the usual Nextel ruggedness, Push to Talk, good performance and stability. This smartphone runs Windows Mobile 2003SE on a 200 MHz processor and has a split personality: in the US it works on Nextel's iDen network while overseas it works as a GSM phone thanks to a dual band GSM radio and SIM slot. |
||
i-mate SP5m Nov. 2005 One of the first Windows Mobile 5 Smartphones to hit the market, the SP5m is available overseas and through importers in the US. It has a quad band GSM radio that will work anywhere GSM service is available, EDGE, GPRS, WiFi, a 1.3MP camera and front buttons that make MP3 playback a natural. |

| Audiovox SMT5600 Nov. 2004 Known by many names, this device is made by HTC and is code named Typhoon. You'll find it overseas as the Orange C500 and i-mate SP3. Here in the US, it's offered by AT&T Wireless and by Cingular as the SMT5600. This absolutely wonderful GSM MS Smartphone is extremely compact, has a large and lovely display, Bluetooth, a VGA camera and runs the latest Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition for Smartphones. Editor's Choice 2004 | ||
Motorola MPx220 Nov. 2004 The new MS Smartphone on the block packs an amazing number of features into a small package.

Update June 2005: Cingular no longer seems to offer this phone. |
