OK, so I've finally moved to an Exchange email account so I can now get shot of 
my Blackberry (no laughing at the back).

So I'm in the market for a new mobile device, ideally with a physical keyboard, 
as typing long-ish emails on a touchscreen keyboard is very difficult for me 
(I've tried on my wife's iPhone many times, I just can't hack it). However, I 
quite like having a touchscreen for interaction with everything except the 
keyboard.

Getting my email on time without having to interact with the phone (i.e. I 
don't need to go and open "Email" before I see what's arrived) is my primary 
requirement. Good calendar integration obviously goes alongside this.

I also need to run LinkedIn, Twitter, RSS and Citrix Receiver apps. OneNote, 
Lync and DropBox would be nice too. All other stuff is extraneous.

So rather than try and Google-fu up a new device with all these requirements, I 
was just wondering if anyone out there has any recommendations that might 
possibly narrow things down for me? I've been a Blackberry user for a very long 
time now, but it's struggling really with newer stuff like the Lync client (all 
you can get on BB is the old OCS app). If any of you techies out there have any 
recommendations that might fit these requirements, it might help me along.

I will now go and start Googling, but as I said, I respect the advice of those 
on this list a lot higher than website reviews :)

Cheers,
