Examples of Palm Treo phones (that are the best selling smartphones in USA) and BlackBerry phones (that are extremely popular all over the world) show that having good QWERTY keyboard is of utmost importance. Soon new Pocket PC phones with built-in QWERTY keyboards will be coming to market: HP hw6900 series, Fujitsu-Siemens Loox T800 series and new Treos from Palm (this time also for GSM/UMTS), so it may be worth to think about these topics already now - so that you could take the most informed decision! At this moment there is only one small Bluetooth keyboard on the market. By 'small' we mean simply a thumb keyboard... and here we are reviewing it:

The only problem with USA is a weak coverage with UMTS (3G with video telephony, CDMA EVDO doesn't support video telephony). Germany has very good coverage with UMTS and already first operator in Germany is offering mobile Internet for flat fee. While 3G coverage in UK is still weak and there is no flat rate mobile Internet in sight, there is one interesting thing available only in UK: completely free access to Skype through Wi-Fi hotspots of ReadytoSurf - operation owned by Broadreach Networks Ltd. You can't deny that Symbian phones can't do it: use Skype in mobile devices. Moreover only few models of Symbian support Wi-Fi while all Pocket PC devices support it (either through built-in Wi-Fi or through SDIO slot). Here we present practical review of using Skype for free at ReadytoSurf Wi-Fi hotspots... read on!
