A mobile phone, this is by far the most mobile Blackberry yet. It’s far from slim on features and keeps that keys selling point the simple push email-interact.

To get your mails, you just have to enter your details online, them send yourself a “Service Book”-an encrypted file with all your email information, wireless details and authentication keys to kick it into life. We must be cursed, we did this, but having switched it off and on again, emails started to turn up like fashionably late guests at a party, five minutes after they’d plopped into our gmail inbox.

The interface is clear, if a little basic. The screen is very bright and a graphic free layout means you can fit loads of emails on the screen at once, although you don’t get to see much of the headings.

The Web browse is similarly basic, and long pages with lots of links (Flick, for instance). More usefully, one press of it summons a menu where you can add bookmarks, enter new URLs, and more.

This is a solid performer overall, and the new, slimmed-down look is alluring. Alas, the awkward keys that result from slimming down cost it glory in this test.

The worm is programmed to work on a platform of Symbian OS. According to the results of tests conducted by Nokia, to now selling devices, which can affect the virus, are those models from Nokia, which uses the platform for Series 60.
