What is it: Windows Mobile Smartphone with keyboard and wide screen
What we think: The wide screen and keyboard are handy to have, but lots of other devices have these features too, and some put them to better use

"Almost, but not quite"
What I like:
Size & weight, look & feel
What I don't like:
JOGGR, slow OS, bugs
Review:
I am on my second e600 and both have suffered from the same key issues, namely:
(1) internet explorer fails to make a connection about 70% of the time, so the excellent high-def screen is of limited use for web browsing
(2) it frequently hangs or delays in processing actions, either jamming completely or refusing to connect calls while doing everything else.
I haven't ever got used to using the JOGGR - for me it's just fundamentally not a great feature - and it is very hard not to accidentally activate it.
Otherwise, it looks great, the screen is good for emails and SMS and it is flatter and lighter than most similar products. For pure functionality BlackBerry still seems to have the edge, though.

BlackBerry Storm 2
Clicking touchscreen may be useful for clumsy people, but ditching the Qwerty keyboard has its drawbacks
INQ Mini 3G
Sluggish at times, and not the easiest phone to use, but it offers a great range of features at a low price
BlackBerry Bold 9700
Has everything that makes the BlackBerry format great, but other smart phones offer more innovation
