Got to agree Tonio. No matter what manufacturer a device with a keyboard makes things a lot easier when typing emails. I'd say having a device with a touch screen AND a keyboard makes things even more easier, especially when you're cutting and pasting email addresses or phone numbers.

Absolutely.

The HTC devices with a keyboard and touchscreen would appear to suit the majority of your requirements. Battery life is an issue though, you'll be recharging it every night like I do mine. I use mine for browsing sports websites, java based gmail client, outlook mail (work), googlemaps, reading word/powerpoint/excel docs and a few other things.
