Best smartphones for e-mail

We round up the best smartphones for keeping up to date with e-mail

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.

HTC Desire Z

The HTC Desire Z is an excellent smartphone, mainly due to a combination of Google's excellent Android platform and HTC's Sense UI. However, its biggest selling point -- the "pop-out" physical QWERTY keyboard -- has a poorly designed hinge mechanism that detracts from the handset's overall appeal.
