Best smartphones for e-mail
- — 02 March, 2011 11:00
2011 may be all about mobile phone processing power, but business users shopping for a phone are more interested in productivity and communications features -- particularly how a smartphone handles e-mail.
If you're using your smartphone primarily for business use, accessing e-mail while away from the office is an essential tool. With this in mind, a smartphone with strong e-mail credentials needs to possess excellent text input, and the latest wireless connectivity.
We round up the best smartphones for accessing e-mail from top brands including Apple, HTC, BlackBerry, Motorola and Samsung.

The Samsung Galaxy S possesses the best display we've seen on a smartphone (though we're yet to review the iPhone 4). However, this Android handset is let down by a few niggling annoyances, particularly the all-plastic build and the TouchWIZ UI, which that lacks the polish this premium smartphone deserves. The Galaxy S is a great smartphone, but it sits a notch below HTC's Desire.
