There was an interesting review that Jonathan Bray did over at TrustedReviews on the MWg Zinc II -Windows Mobile 6.1 Smartphone that you might like reading. With the recent announcement of the update tp Microsoft’s mobile platform, there is a very definite thirst to see just what it is like, how well it will perform and of course if you will decide to get it.  Based on Jon’s comments, he like the interface improvements – such as the panel-based Today screen enhancements.So it appears as if the folks at MWg  loaned Jon a pre-production version of the Zinc II and he is sharing the experience with you.

What are his final thoughts? 

While the 6.1 update to Windows Mobile, in its Professional version at least, is a bit of a disappointment from an ease of use perspective, the apparent improvements in speed should not be underestimated. The MWg Zinc II’s own UI enhancements, superb touchscreen, compact dimensions, excellent engineering and all-encompassing feature set also make this a handset worth considering in its own right.

In fact the Zinc II’s sheer speed, coupled with a decent alternative browser such as Opera Mini 4.1 makes this a serious rival to the still-superb HTC TyTN II; if the keyboard had been better, it could have outstripped it.
