Now that’s a whole lot that you might need to know about the device. The final verdict as we said earlier is

The new Ameo from T-Mobile is, technically, without a doubt the best Pocket PC ever. Virtually every feature ever seen is included in what is a state of the art device confirming HTC’s status as the premier Windows Mobile manufacturer. T-Mobile has done an excellent job in producing a package for the UK mobile market which could have been perfect with the inclusion of the 4 in 1 cable. From a price perspective T-Mobile are offering the Ameo at a reasonable price scale starting at £429.99 and dropping to £129.99 for the more expensive pay monthly contracts. You get what you pay for.

The only downside to the Ameo is its bulk. Is the Ameo too big for someone looking for a mobile phone sized device? Yes, in my opinion it is. If form factor is top of your requirements list this device is not for you. It’s too large to hold to your ear and the lack of personal speaker makes telephony awkward without a Bluetooth headset. The Ameo excels as a convergence device though that will tick almost all of the boxes for both business users and multimedia fanatics alike. You wouldn’t want it sat in your pocket on a Saturday night out but deciding whether or not to buy the Ameo is a no brainer. It’s THE device of year to date. The tricky part is going to be deciding what your “going out” phone will be!
