    The HTC S710 or also known as the Orange SPV 650 is a well-polished handset that whilst not going out of its way to perform wonders does offer a good solid offering none the less. The inclusion of Windows Mobile 6 will certainly appeal to those who want to futureproof themselves and although twice the thickness of the BlackBerry Curve it's really only slightly bigger than Sony Ericsson's W810 Walkman handset. One of the better SPVs of recent times if you aren't look for... Read more

    A gifted Windows smartphone that squeezes a QWERTY keyboard into its slender frame without compromising on power. Read more

    Verdict Windows Mobile is now available in phones of all shapes and sizes, though this particular model offers a reasonable balance between limiting the bulk while still offering a usable QWERTY keyboard. Even the latest version of the software takes a while to load, however, and isn’t particularly responsive, making us wonder if Microsoft is overloading the technology with too many features for it to be able to run smoothly. Nevertheless, if you want the latest device... Read more

    With its large screen, slick design and slide-out keyboard, the S710 is one of the most impressive Windows smart phones we've seen in a while. The lack of 3G support and sometimes sluggish performance are disappointments, but despite these shortcomings, the S710 is still a very desirable handset Read more

    A smart phone with a slide-out keyboard isn't exactly a rarity these days, but this model stands out from its rivals because it doesn't have the girth of a Russian weightlifter. Read more

    I previously had a Qtec Kjam and I have moved to this phone as I liked the size and the numeric keypad on the front. I have found that the Windows Mobile has filled some of the gaps the previous system had which needed to be filled with 3rd party software (though it is a pity that Microsoft still does not support Lotus Notes for their sync software). I do not find the keyboard too small, rather it is easy to use for the times that you need it. This phone is really easy... Read more

    This was my first attempt at replacing my separate HP PDA and phone with a single unit and it worked...almost. The screen layout is familiar from the PDA and the slideout keyboard great when I need it. However, I always had problems getting the Bluetooth to start up reliably -- it would take ages trying to start and then fail so I ended up trying to start it then immediately removing the battery and rebooting which kidded it into thinking it would work from startup. Also... Read more

    First "smart" phone I owned and great for many things but poor browser and limitations resulting from the lack of a touch screen resulted in it lacking something. Additonally after only a couple of months the two halves started to wobble and for the last couple of months of my contract it was held together by only the ribbon cable and sticky tape. Keyboard (while I had access to it) was good but not used as often as you might imagine - a good virtual keyboard is often... Read more
