Review Summary

The Nokia E63 is a good phone that delivers a competent texting and email experience, but its E71 predecessor is better, offering more features and greater finesse. If you want a smartphone that stands out from the crowd, however, the colorful E63 is worth checking out.

With more color choices and much better performance due to the increased RAM, the enhanced Touch is what the original should have been to begin with.

The RIM BlackBerry Curve 8320 is the best BlackBerry we've seen to date as it offers Wi-Fi, best-of-breed design, and excellent performance.

Though packed with connectivity features and inexpensive, the P552w lacks the "wow" factor and looks much too plain compared to the competition.
