Look at some of the Nokia's. I have been very happy with the Lumia 822 (yes it is old but I know it can survive being dropped into a toilet! My daughter has done that to hers twice!). They have several for the international market with dual SIMs and dual networks. I know you are not here in the states so you are not stuck in the Verizon/AT&T war. No physical keyboard but the touch screen one works for me much better than the wife's iPhone 4S or 6S does.

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 J Cheers, James Rankin Director | TaloSys | 07809 668579 | [email protected]
