HTC Universal

A Pocket PC device with a flip/rotatable lid and UMTS capabilities:

Good Points:

• UMTS Connectivity (can be used as a Bluetooth modem)
• Videotelephony (CS VT) support
• Standard audio jack
• Wi-Fi

Bad Points:

• Big, heavy, fiddly cover
• Poor placement of outside controls makes them awkward to use (and easy to press accidentally)
• Lousy keyboard (very bad tactile feedback)
• Windows Mobile 5.0 places a softkey bar across the bottom of the screen that does nothing but take up room - Remote Desktop screen area is sorely reduced, making it nearly useless.
• The UI cannot be navigated solely via the keyboard, forcing you to take out the flimsy pen to press on-screen buttons
• Incompatible with a lot of current Pocket PC software (either due to the screen layout or to pure binary incompatibilities)
• Connection management is the usual Pocket PC support nightmare with an added "easy" layer on top that just makes things worse.
