"Yes, the optical trackpad is a nice departure from BlackBerry's usual trackball, and when it comes to email the myriad of menus give way to single clicks, but this is a BlackBerry device so you'd expect it to get email right. It's the interaction between apps and device where things start to fall apart and where RIM still has a lot of catching up to do with Apple." Read in full.

Messenger, ICQ, Google Talk (Orkut), AIM, and social networks including Facebook and MySpace.

- The Gizmodo reviews the T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro2. " A respectable swan song for Windows Mobile 6.1, the Touch Pro2 would be a safe recommendation for diehard Windows Mobile fans, and a cautious "consider it" for business-oriented smartphone shoppers, assuming it was priced at $200 or less. It costs nearly twice that much."
