Smartphones for Email

By Karen Carter


Mobile is a great mobile phone brand, which provides 3G contracts and handsets. They have a wide range of 3 Mobile Phones to offer, in particular a great range of smartphones. It is hard to really understand what Smartphone is going to best for you today, as there are just so many to choose from, all with different qualities and functions.

When you think of emailing on a modern mobile handset the first name that comes to mind is BlackBerry and their new Bold 9900 device is the undoubted king in this area. The 9900 sits proudly at the top of the BlackBerry range and offers a powerful 1.2Ghz processor together with the very latest version of the BlackBerry operating system. These handsets were originally designed with business users in mind so we naturally expect the devices to offer unrivaled email features and this phone does not disappoint. The full Qwerty keypad is an obvious advantage and it helps the speedy composition of messages. The keypad is well constructed and each individual button is well spaced out meaning that you make minimal errors when typing a message. If you are looking to attach photograph files to your email message then the software used on this phone allows you to adjust the file size to improve the time it takes to send the message and there are also extensive editing options included.

If you are looking for great email features at a more pocket friendly price than the BlackBerry Bold 9900 then you will find the Curve range of RIM phones hard to beat. The new Curve 9360 is not as fast as the Bold 9900 but it still uses an impressive 800Mhz processor that means that it performs well when compared with similarly priced devices. The phone also lacks a capacitive touchscreen which means all navigation must be performed with the optical trackpad but this is no great hardship to anybody who is used to using a BlackBerry device.

If you are looking for a high quality and responsive touchscreen on which to compose your messages rather than a physical keypad then the iPhone 4S is the handset for you. The 3.5 inch screen means that the device is not as large as many modern phones but still big enough to include large keys and an impressive predictive text system. The improved notifications system that is used on this phone also alerts you the moment you receive new mail meaning you will never miss that important email.

We have choices. Too many of us have lost sight of that fact in these troubling times. So ask yourself the next time you pick up your smartphone and see an ad; which end of the 'Buy Now' button do you want to be on?
