More The first ever mobile phone running Windows Mobile 6.5.3. At least it is the first announced model. Time will tell if this will be the first available in stores. Similar to the Nokia E72 and BlackBerry Bold 9700

NA = Not Applicable. No data available

First look at the Aspen

Pros
Nice little keyboard

Cons
Really poor camera, a little hampered by Windows Mobile

Conclusion
My experience with Windows Mobile is limited to a few PDAs back in the early part of this century... I'm still getting used to the user interface.However, I can't tell whether the camera issue I'm having is a firmware thing or just a fault on this particular model. At this rate, it'll be going back to the supplier...

Verdict
3 (out of 5)
