Engadget has gotten some side-by-side pictures comparing the T-Mobile branded versions of the HTC Hermes with the older HTC Wizard. Take a look at the pictures to see how they compare.

O2 XDA Atom Review
Raphael Salgado has posted a nice review of the O2 XDA Atom over at Pocket PC Thoughs. While this is currently the smallest Pocket PC Phone, it looks like there are some downsides.
