Notes:
Systems with large caches will generally perform faster even though they do not have the fastest clock speed.
The larger dot pitch for the displays are easier to read.
Battery life is based on manufacturers claims, your mileage will vary.
The Uniden and BCom look almost identical - the Uniden supports a Type II card though (I don't know who's making the unit). The Trogon and the Everex are identical - Everex, a member of the FIC Group and Trogon are purchasing the units from the FIC Group.
The Leo Freestyle unit is similar to the Everex Freestyle. They are part of the same conglomerate called FIC Group.
