The Mitac Mio A701 could be described as the "Swiss Army Knife" of handheld devices - it does just about everything.
At its heart, the A701 is a GPS/satellite navigation device. However, the A701 is also a phone and PDA - and more.
Because the Mitac Mio brand is best-known for its GPS devices, this feature is obviously the A701's strong point. It works well even in the middle of a crowded city street and can be used either on foot or in the car. You can even use it to find specific things near you, say and Italian restaurant within 500 metres.
As a phone and an organiser, the functionality is solid but fairly standard. There's also a 1.3-megapixel camera that takes good quality snaps - now are you beginning to see why the Mio A701 is something of a Swiss Army knife?
To top it all off, the A701 is a good looking phone. It's not one of those small, sleek PDAs, instead opting to embrace its bulk. It's finished in a combination of black and silver with rounded colours, making it elegant to look at as well.
