5 of the best BlackBerry alternatives

If you're after some non-RIM QWERTYness, try one of these five...

Nokia E6
A hefty stainless steel body, touchscreen navigation, 8MP camera and decent battery life form the foundation of this clever QWERTY. It's not as powerful as the competition with its measly 600MHz processor, but it's aesthetically pleasing, the Symbian^3 'Anna' OS springs to life with the addition of finger-friendly controls and the D-pad means navigation is a breeze. We particularly like that the question mark, comma and full stop symbols have their own dedicated keys.
