Summary: BlackBerry is still best known for its secure email capabilitiesand excellent QWERTY keyboards, but BlackBerry manufacturer RIM has been working hard to make itsmark in the touchscreen arena with some, if limited, success.

Conclusion: BlackBerry's biggest touchscreen handset is one of its best, andit's working hard to catch up with the competition. The BlackBerryfaithful will appreciate the effort here, but whether it's enoughto win over fans of Android or Apple is another matter.

Pro : Sharp 3.7-inch touchscreen, fast processor, 5MP camera with 720pHD video recording

Cons : Lack of apps in BlackBerry App World, Android can offer similarfeatures for less cost, awkward hard buttons
