Handsett's tuch keybored 'overlly sensetivvvve'.

One of the best combinations of design and function in a smartphone we've seen for some time.

G1 device combines touch screen with full Qwerty keypad.

One of the smartphones the Bold is up against is Nokia's new E71, which hits the market today. The E71 is interesting for a couple of reasons.

Not everyone is sold on Windows Mobile Professional, but if you're a fan, then Samsung's latest QWERTY phone is worth a look. We size up the Samsung i780 with Blackberry's Bold to see how they fair.

The new handset takes on Nokia E71 and BlackBerry Bold, with touschscreen, WiFi and QWERTY keyboard..

The 6820 is Nokia's business phone. Its previous incarnation -- the 6800 -- was heavily criticised for not offering tri-band or Bluetooth; both of which have now been remedied. For something the size of a regular phone, we can applaud Nokia for shoe-horning a full Qwerty keyboard in.

Data input is one of the biggest issues many people have with PDAs, and while stylus handwriting recognition and Graffiti dont take long to learn, they can be difficult to master, and cant compare to typing on a keyboard.

Wider than a normal phone and encroaching on PDA girth turf, the BlackBerry 7100v is both a capable phone and a capable PDA.

Finger's crossed, but we're hoping the keyboard equipped HTC Touch Pro, due to arrive later this month, has none of the lag issues of the Touch Diamond.

No high-speed internet or bells and whistles, but an easy-to-use and pocketable email phone nonetheless

Plenty of modern phones support email, of course, but what always made BlackBerry special was its push technology. With this, you don't need to dial up to collect your email: just sit back and wait for the messages to come to you. Wherever you are, if an urgent email comes through to any of your email addresses -- and the 7100v supports up to 10 -- you can act on it instantly.

A simple way to learn this keyboard layout

Type up to 50 words a minute on your Palm with this great enhancement.

The new Nokia n96 has just about every multimedia trick, including TV, video, and an online music store, that the Finns can throw at it. It's a beast of a phone, and we mean that as a compliment.

It's not for meetings, it's for meeting up. If you don't like the bulk of a Treo, here's your smartphone.

A good range of business features are slightly let down by the form factor.
