Hardware Review: AnexTEK Pocket PC Phone SP230 February 06, 2004 [Pocket PC phone] | By anonymous 1. Times are over when only HTC was producing appealing Pocket PC phones! Not only Eten (Yakumo Omikron) but also Lenovo (branded by AnexTEK) produce nice Pocket PC phones: 
The PocketPCReviews web site has an extremely detailed review of the Anextek Pocket PC phone: A first look at the surprisingly handsome AnexTEK SP230 reveals a top-notch design that makes few compromises to either phone or PDA functions. The SIM card is located under the battery and a short green flash every 3 seconds from one of the two LEDs will indicate that the phone is switched on. Reception was on a par with my Nokia 7210 in the marginal area where I have my office. The numeric keypad, which is an optional extra, makes the SP230 look distinctively but is certainly not necessary as the built in dialer also has sufficiently large keys to use them without a stylus. Also, the keypad only has numbers and as such makes it hard to be used for text messages. I would predict that most users will just opt for the standard dialler instead. Now, if the numbers on that keypad could be used as hardware buttons that can launch programs it would be a different matter…. The phone functions are quite easy to operate, even intuitive, and if you really would get stuck the excellent manual will get you going again. One of the software applets is the SIM manager through which you can make calls and manage your contacts. In addition to 3-way calling, the SP230 also supports multi-conferencing calls. The quality of sound, both from the speaker and the headset, is quite good. To read the review, including many screen shots and photos, click here.
