Sagem WA 3050 : Greyscale resistive touchscreen phone, combines a dual-band GSM mobile phone with a powerful hand-held computer

Sagem's WA3050 combines a dual-band GSM mobile phone with a powerful hand-held computer. It's also ready for higher-speed GPRS wireless data services.

The WA3050 is an excellent convergence device by today's standards, but it's not without its faults.

Enter Sagem's WA 3050 and the only other GSM-enabled Pocket PC, the Trium Mondo. The WA 3050 offers everything you'd expect from a Windows-powered PDA, but it is also a dual band GSM mobile phone. The slow rollout of GPRS has meant this hasn't...

We found the back-lit mono screen easy enough to live with and the Pocket PC side of the product is not overly compromised by the phone side, or vice-versa. Although we've not seen the rival Trium Mondo yet, that product's lack of a USB sync option as standard, nor any memory expansion path, seems to make the WA3050 a winner by default. At around £400 with a mobile phone contract, the price isn't too extortionate either, as long as you're in the 'must-have' category.
