Do you want the form factor of a Blackberry but hate to use the archaic and slow operating system? If you answered yes then you’ll be interested in the new Samsung Galaxy Y Pro.

At first glance I thought it was a Blackberry but found it a little funkier and sexier. It's also a well-priced mid-level Android that combines a touchscreen with a keyboard that is tailored to suit the young professional and those who love to text. I liked the easy connectivity to Gmail, Facebook and Twitter, and the access to thousands of new apps.

I found that it offers everything else a Smartphone should - GPS,  wifi, 3-megapixel camera and a micro-3D card to store music and movies.

And at R1499, it's cheaper than its rival Blackberry and super cool too...
