Rating:
Pros:	GSM handsets with inbuilt GPS capabilities. Good battery life. Aimed at business and industrial applications.
Cons:	Scroll wheel stymied us at every turn. Advanced multimedia services aren’t so great, lapped by competitors. Time to ditch the proprietary cables.
Buy it for:	From £89.99 at Amazon.co.uk

Features:

Building on the success of TWIG Discovery - specifically tailored to GPS-based business applications.
Full support for Telematics - remotely control and configure your handset for better tracking and security.
User interface and menu lock.
TWIG SOS - advanced emergency messaging with a panic button - even when the phone is switched off!
TWIG Inbox - central log of all received telematics messages (e.g., emergency requests, position updates, etc.)
Data bus for third party custom devices, e.g., motion sensor or RF receiver

Works with any sim, except the ‘3′ network.
Totally free sat nav, works as soon as you take it out the box, comes with a 1GB card.
The Maps are best used, UK and Ireland, full postcode, loud spoken sat nav in 5 languages.
It also has walk mode, bike mode and car mode, so its GPS sat nav on the go.
And it has this cool emergency alert button which pin points your locations with an alert message and call. Very cool feature.
Dont expect the highest spec phone, this is predominantly a sat nav phone, but with way more practical and REALLY useful other features.
