RIM BlackBerry 7130c
For some reason Laptop Magazine thinks the keyboards for smartphones aren’t cramped enough already and proposes making you be a contortionist to type on the damn things. They give this product four stars for reasons that elude us.

At 4.2 ounces, the 7130c barely sags a shirt pocket, and it’s roughly the same width and height as a Palm Treo 700w. Like other BlackBerrys in the 7100 series, the 7130c features SureType technology, which fits a QWERTY keyboard onto only 20 keys with few trade-offs in terms of ease of use. That design makes the phone slimmer. The Talk and End keys, as well as Bluetooth functionality and a loud speakerphone, make the 7130c as practical for talking as it is for messaging.
