Group Test: Windows Mobile 6.5 review
A look at the new OS on a raft of brand-spanking new phones
In a world of Android and iPhone, Windows Mobile has been feeling neglected of late, but in a bid to battle its way through Windows has finally launched Mobile 6.5.
- Find out all you need to know about Windows Mobile 6.5
But does is mean mobile business? We've nabbed exclusive reviews of the latest mobile phones coming with the new OS including the Samsung Omnia 2, Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 and the updated Toshiba TG01.
Are we still weeping at the inability to navigate the Windows Mobile menus, or will we be in for a pleasant surprise?
Sony Ericsson Xperia X2
£605 sim free
Love: Great 8-meg camera with camera light, effective QWERTY keyboard and good music software
Hate: Dodgy touch-sensitive controls, a screen that needs a lot of stylus input and occasionally complicated Panels overlay.
We say: Great shape, smart screen and good keyboard are let down by clunky Panels interface

T3 Test Winner: Samsung Omnia II
£500
Love: Superlative vivid display, responsive touchscreen and excellent Samsung Widgets
Hate: The odd Cube setup is a less successful interface but is the phone’s only real disappointment
We say: The large, bright screen is a winner and Samsung’s stylish design make this phone stand out
HTC Touch 2
£430
Love: HTC’s neat TouchFLO interface is about the best non-Windows setup you’ll find
Hate: There’s no flash on the (average) 3.2-megapixel camera
We say: If you fancy a small handset, this is the best WinMo phone you’ll find, thanks to HTC’s TouchFLO
Toshiba TG01
£490
Love: Great screen and super-quick processor make this phone good to use
Hate: The limited Tosh overlay to add to the Windows experience
We say: If you want a portable monitor big enough for watching video, displaying photos and making documents easily readable, the Tosh delivers

The Free iPhone Guide
To get yourself a free iPhone, iPod Touch, or the latest Macbook Air all you have to do is follow the 3 easy steps:
Step 1 : Sign up for a free Gift
Sign up at the link below to get your free gift. We recommend this free gift site because it's been TRIED and TESTED to work.
http://Gifts.real-incentives.com/2992 (copy and paste into address bar)
You can choose other prizes like free Laptops from this site too! Make sure you use a real email address. Use your real details when you sign up so that the company knows where to send your gift! Remember that they have been proven legitimate, so will send you your free gift if you do everything legitimately!
Step 2 : Try an advertiser's offer
Basically all you need to do in this step is complete one of the offers, this is where the freebie site make their money, if you complete an offer then the freebie site will recieve commission for it. So if you complete Coral which will only cost you £5 to complete, the freebie site gets £25 from Coral. The two best offers are Lovefilm Free DVD rental (a no obligation free DVD trial) and Coral (bet £5 on a sport). I would reccommend you do Coral as it credits in an hour and is really simple to do, Lovefilm however can become complicated and takes up to 4 weeks to credit! You can also try one of the other offers, most are gambling offers. Don't skip this step! You must complete this step to get your free gift!
Step 3 : Refer some friends
This part is a lot easier than it seems, especially now with free gift sites getting so popular. There's lots of people online who want a free iPhone, Touch or macbook too, so start referring them! You only need to get a few signups before you'll be finished. You can ask your friends or your online buddies. I already got a free iPhone without even having to ask my friends for help - there's lots of people online who want a free iPhone like you! One of the easiest ways to get a referral is to do a favour for a friend and ask them to sign up in return. That way, you both can get a free gift!
Basic rules
Don't break these rules! This is the only reason that you won't get your free gift, so make sure you follow these rules!
- One account per household - don't use a public computer to sign up!
- Use real information - this is a proven legitimate site and they will not give out your information.
- Only complete each offer once! You cannot complete the same offer again, even for different freebies.
- Don't try to cheat the system. This site has been proven legitimate, and they will catch you if you try to cheat. If you do everything legitimately, by following this guide, you will get a free gift!

Shame the picture you've used here is for the HTC Touch Pro 2 (the keyboard is a bit of a give away). I suspect this might confuse people when you talk about it being small!
