BlackBerry Curve 9360 review
The BlackBerry Curve 9360's design is sharper than a Savile Row suit and its Qwerty keyboard is the best yet, but check out Android phones before you buy. Read more

Alcatel OT-255 review
For email access on a shoestring, the Alcatel OT-255 has no peer. Its Qwerty keyboard is a joy to use, allowing you to compose text messages and email missives with ease. The phone's biggest shortcomings are its lack of other key features, poor connectivity options and a rather unappealing exterior. Read more
