You might, by now, be getting the idea that I'm not that impressed with the G910 - and you'd be right. With its fantastic line-up of features, it should be a joy to use, a positive powerhouse of PDA productivity. But it's not.
 
It's flawed in implementation, with a clunky, badly-executed user interface, the responsiveness of an oil tanker, and all the user-friendliness of a machine designed by Genghis Khan, a man not noted for his empathy with other humans! In short, it's a good idea that's fatally flawed, leading to a smartphone that isn't, and which certainly can't be used effectively to enhance your productivity.
 
Throughout this review, I kept telling myself the problems I was having with the G910 was because I wasn't used to Windows Mobile devices, and that I probably had the same problem with my Symbian-based E90 when I first bought it.
 
But no, the E90 was so easy to use, I never even had to read the manual, and the Windows Mobile-based MWg devices I've reviewed at the same time as the G910 have both worked like a charm, exposing the G910 for what it truly is: a good idea implemented really badly.
 
It's a crying shame, as I really wanted to like this device, but I have to give the G910 just 5/10, as it's simply unusable. My thanks to the guys from Clove Technology for the review unit.
