You don't *have* to have a Gooseberry. I have a a fairly standard Nokia phone and can send and receive emails from my different accounts via the phone.

Fuzzy,

Had an iphone and hated it...although my fingers are probably alot bigger than yours
I didnt like its interface and think I am going to wait until they have ironed out all the creases with a SP

My bet would be a blackbery curve....as already stated, lots will do the simple things like the nokia's

Regards

Pete

You pay more for 'push technology' email like the Blackberry (this means your email is 'pushed' to you rather than you having to log on to your mail server to 'pull' the email down to your phone).

A sales assistant in a store of one of the major mobile phone companies tried to convince me that I couldn't possibly live without push email.

I can.

All I have to do is press one little button on my phone to connect to my mail server and it downloads everything for me to read and reply to. Hardly a major inconvenience!

I used to have a Blackberry. I hated it. But I also know people who love them!
