Slide out keyboard that I have become efficient using, and it is also works well as Bluetooth or USB direct connect modem for a laptop. Upstream speed is slow, say 32kb/sec, but downstream can be as high as ~200kb/sec, e.g. in the bay area. Windows Mobile 5 mail supports IMAP4, but I find I just as often use webmail as the speed is good enough that the extra overhead is tolerable (e.g. avoiding the need to use a VPN). It has wifi, but I don't turn it on much as the phone itself is pretty fast.
