Phone calls, data transfer
The only strange moment regarding phone calls is that in case of incoming calls there is a ~2 second delay between the moment when backlight is turned on and the phone starts ringing. This means that when we see the phone, we can “foresee” that we'll have a call, but since in this case the caller already hears ringing, we're practically lagging two seconds. Sound quality was okay, the device had no problems with switching between GSM/UMTS networks. By the way the GSM module is quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), and thanks to the frontal camera we can make video calls when on 3G network. There are of course environmental profiles, the vibra engine is quite powerful. It's very useful that in case of incoming calls it's enough to put the PDA face down on the table and it is then muted. I have used this a lot.
The list of supported data transfer protocols will satisfy all needs. WiFi 802.11b/g are supported, but we don't have to give up on speed even when there's no network around, as we can use HSDPA too – in case there's no coverage we'll have to do with EDGE or GPRS. The GPS receiver is a 20-channel one, it is NMEA 0183-compatible, but I couldn't really test this as I only have authentic iGO software, and I couldn't insert the card.
I didn't mention the call log yet: accepted/rejected/dialed calls can be displayed separately or on the same list. For those who are not so familiar with WM I have to tell that Outlook is responsible for all messaging, it has an email client and it supports multimedia messages. The same software is used as address book, and we can store names up to the size of the internal memory, which practically means an unlimited number of entries, with lots of extra fields. With the previously mentioned software we can do voice dials and issue voice commands, but in my opinion voice recognition isn't very effective.
