Blackberry 7100x

BlackBerry's emailer handsets may not be the prettiest phones in the world, but if you send and receive a lot of emails, they're the perfect thing, not least because any emails you're sent are pushed directly to the handset straight away (or almost straight away in this phone's case). This saves you having to fiddle faddle around with getting your phone to check for new mail. The unusual QWERTY keypad design on this 7100x, being sold through O2, means you can send emails far faster (once you've got used to the doubled-up key layout.) The phone, out this month, is very similar to the 7100v that Vodafone released a few months ago (and which we use a lot), so you just need to decide which network you prefer, and which chunky phone design you least dislike.
