Symbian platform: UIQ Review first published in:
Palmtop User magazine, issue

It's perhaps an indication of how pervasive
the Windows desktop has become that so many developers feel a need to produce
something similar for UIQ. Handy Desktop joins the fray late in the day but
scores highly by not trying to be too ambitious, unlike Tracker and Active
Desk. It's unashamedly a place to put shortcuts to the things you want to do
most often, perhaps a new text message to a particular friend, a call to your
partner, editing a specific file or visiting a favourite web page. You can have
as many pages (folders) of shortcuts as you like, each with their own
wallpaper, which helps to give an appropriate vibe. The range of possibilities
is impressive, although you do have to keep returning to the desktop manually,
as there's no option to switch automatically when opening the P800/P900 flip.
