Nearly identical to its hotly anticipated SGH-i320, Samsung unveils the Windows Mobile 5 powered SGH-i320N business phone with a slightly tweaked thumbboard and design.

Measuring in at a mere 11.5 mm thick, the SGH-i320N is Samsung's second stab at taking a page from the playbook of the Motorola Q business phone, making only minimal adjustments to the first such attempt - its SGH-i320 sibling. Equipped with Windows Mobile 5.0, the SGH-i320N features a more traditional thumbboard design than that of the SGH-i320, as well as a more angular design with nearly identical measurements.

Also present is a landscape-oriented, 2.2-inch QVGA screen, as well as a 1.3 Megapixel camera with a LED flash and microSD card slot for expanding the 64 MB of onboard memory. Tri-band GSM and EDGE tend to the long haul for data users, while Bluetooth and USB connects to PCs and other compatible devices. A document viewer suite will be included, and according to Samsung the 95 g business phone will also also offer a level of voice recognition.

Price and availability

The Samsung SGH-i320N is expected to ship throughout Europe in the late summer of 2006. Details concerning its pricing were not discussed.

Read the full article » The E61 does what Nokia does best: connects people. Its all-encompassing connectivity setup is exploited in full by a broad line-up of quality messaging, office and browsing applications which run in tandem with a superb screen and more than decent thumbboard. Granted, it's not among the most powerful business phones nor does it fare well in the department of synchronization - but the latter is at long last addressable by several third party solutions. Sprinkle with handy utilities, attention to detail, good battery life and a compact form factor, and you end up with a very solid business phone contender indeed. Read the full article »

Read the full article » Quite possibly the ideal size for a business phone, the Sony Ericsson M600i is but a hair's width from scoring full marks in the messaging, productivity and browsing departments, hampered only by the smaller-than-the-competition sizes of its otherwise excellent touch screen and thumbboard. It also delivers a solid impression in every other department, with the near-sole disappointment being its lack of a bundled USB cable and USB charging support. Add good battery life and nice touches such as a scroll wheel, stereo Bluetooth audio and a clever, agenda-style standby screen, and what emerges is a winning recipe. Read the full article »
