Dual - Dual

Advantages: Versatile, fast, small, very customisable
Disadvantages: Average 2MP camera, no WIFI, no built in GPS, poor speaker

...The Touch Dual is a flexible Windows Mobile 6 based phone that combines the features of a larger PDA into a very small mobile phone form factor yet the screen managed to feel large enough for showing friends your pictures or for surfing the web at broadband speed using HSDPA. The 2MP camera, lack of GPS built in and lack of WIFI are the main weaknessess, oh and the speaker is pretty poor quality making playing music and taking calls on handsfree a less than exciting experience. I changed from a Nokia N95 as I found the N95 sluggish. The Touch is lightening fast at opening applications and for those familiar with Windows and wanting to synchronise their calendars and contacts with Outlook can do so very very easily, a MicroSD slot means your never going to run out space for storing contacts, texts, emails etc. The exterior has a nice...

Advantages: Updated Television
Disadvantages: none that I have found

...Last week our beloved old Sony television finally decided that retirement was no longer an option and gave up working for a living! To be honest, it was not unexpected; it had been fading for some time and taking longer each day to wake up, but after about twenty years faithful service, it really was like one of the family.

It's very easy these days to get large tv's - not the same choice with smaller ones. The one we decided on was the Dual DLCD 1905. This was not previously a brand with which I was familiar, but apparently they have been around for some eighty years, so they must have some idea of what they are doing! The fact that this was 'on offer... Read review

Advantages: large library of programs for download
Disadvantages: No Wifi, Camera poor, touch screen for stylus not fingers.

...The HTC Touch dual is a slick PDA/mobile phone, made of mostly a black rubbery plastic lined around the outside with a silver plastic. The case contains 3 hardware buttons, a touch pad and touch sensitive screen. The case can slide out to reveal a 16 button keypad. On the back is a 2 mega pixels camera without flash. The HTC touch dual runs on Windows mobile 6.0 which comes with many useful programs, such as Word mobile, Excel Mobile etc. There are also many programs that can be downloaded from the internet for free or for a small fee. However, like my experience with most Microsoft software there are times when the phone will crash or slow to a halt. The touch screen is good and mostly responds well when using the stylus. However, when using your finger the story is a different matter. Most of the buttons on windows mobile 6.0 are too... Read review
