Foreword, package contents
Although we have been writing numerous times about the differences between Windows Mobile smartphones and Pokcet PCs, it still seems based on the mails from readers, that there are still many people who do not know these differences, so I’ll begin this article with a quick summary. Pocket PCs (which nowadays usually use Windows Mobile 6 Professional operating system) are touchscreen models, while smartphones (with Windows Mobile 6 Standard system) do not have such a thing. The two platforms are incompatible in software and there are much less applications available for the latter one, which will probably not change in the future, as Microsoft is planning to unify the two systems in a couple of years. In Europe the smartphone line doesn’t have an outstanding success, but overseas, thanks to the stylish Motorola Q, lots of people are using such a device.
A couple of companies still think that it’s worth distributing such handsets in Europe too – Toshiba is one of these manufacturers, as the subject of our current review is a real smartphone, which tries to continue the style created by the previously mentioned Motorola device. It’s been a long time since we have seen such a device; the last ones were Asus M530w and Motorola Q9. I have been a bit surprised when I turned on the handset we got from MobilX: I would have never thought that there is one company who still makes a Windows smartphone.
There are no signs on the mid-sized, simple box that it would contain a smartphone, only the icons of the main features are printed one after the other. When looking at these we can see that this is no flagship model, which is no problem. The package has a stereo headset, a data cable and a charger besides the handset, the latter one is surprisingly large, it surely takes up three spaces when plugged in an adapter.
