Mio DigiWalker A701- PC Authority
PC Authority have reviewed the Mio DigiWalker A701 GPS phone which combines satellite navigation, a PDA and a smartphone into a handy communication device. 'Mio’s 169 GPS PDA won our group test last year but the A701 is a very different beast. It’s fundamentally a Windows Mobile 5-based smartphone but, without any significant increase in dimensions, it also has an embedded GPS receiver. It uses the latest version of the MioMap software which we found to be well-featured and easy to follow if slightly flawed. All downsides are obliterated by the convenience of having everything built in though. It’s also good to see Mio bundle a windscreen mounting and car charger and that the screen can be rotated to landscape mode. Everything looks good on the bright, 2.7in transmissive LCD, though it’s tricky to read outside in direct sunshine.'
