Lack of included software like Adobe Reader, No dedicated headphone jack, Screen only QVGA, No cover on Micro SD slot
The MWg Zinc II is a solid performer and I think it is what the AT&T Tilt (HTC Kaiser) should have been out of the box. That said, given the competition that is forming out there with the HTC Touch Pro, Samsung Omnia and Sony/Ericsson Xperia X1, the...
It might sound as if I had a hard time finding some good things to say about the Zinc II. Admittedly, there were too many gems hidden below the layers, menus, and settings of Windows Mobile that could have benefited from a little TLC by MWg. An improv...
Abstract: The MWg Zinc II is a tweener; a traditional old school Windows Mobile Professional QWERTY side-slider with a few updates to help it compete with todays trendy touch screen WinMo devices like the HTC Touch Diamond, HTC Touch Pro, Samsung Omnia and the...
To summarize, I like the Zinc II, but feel it could have added a bit more than the Atom V. Given that the Zinc II is £100 more and all you get is a keyboard, I dont think it represents good value for money when you compare the two. Indeed, at £400 (n...

The device feels solid; I prefer this rubberized coating to a shinier black plastic device; the flat panel screen is lovely and vivid; I like the clean look of the device’s front with only three buttons; the battery size is generous; the Zinc II fee...
The keyboard does not use traditional buttons and requires getting used to; the keyboard needs haptic feedback; it’s pretty pricey; 64MB RAM (Program) memory(!!); camera is meh.
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 touc...
