Best phone for Remote Desktop

POB · 7 Oct 2009 at 10:47

Hi
I need to occasionally use Windows Remote Desktop to fix server issues if they arise.

Is there a good phone for the job? Any experiences?

I'm thinking a highres windows mobile may be the best option.

Presumably the higher the res the better, so im thinking TouchHD or possibly the HTC Hero if a program exists that will let you use it.

Winmo phones are your best bet...they have a built in app that allows you to remotely control your desktop...whether its any good is another question entirely...ive never used it when i had my touch diamond.

Acer Tempo F900...

Essentially the same spec as the Touch HD but a lot cheaper. Saw it yesterday sim-free yesterday for £189.99 from a very popular online retailer, obviously cant link to it here but a quick search will reveal where.

When you consider its spec execpt for it 3mp camera .(800x480, WM6.1, Wifi, HSDPA, Bluetooth etc) its an unbelievably good price.

Their is also a vid on you tube with the Acer alongside the Touch HD which shows how much faster the Acer is and it also has a larger capacity battery...
