The Moment supports Gmail, Exchange, POP3/IMAP email, SMS, MMS, and IM.

In Gmail, many of the desktop features are supported. For example, you have the option of "starring" an email without reading it, a feature lacking on many competing mobile email platforms. Tapping an email quickly opens it, pressing and holding it opens up an options menu. In this menu, you can choose to open it, archive it, mark it unread, add a star, delete it, report spam or set labels.

Opening emails lets you see the full header and everyone the message is addressed to, the message itself, followed by some action items (reply, forward, etc.) at the very bottom of the email. Users can see and open any of the other emails that make up that conversations, just as in the Google Web-mail client. That's something I definitely wish other email clients allowed you to do.

The Moment has both an on-screen QWERTY keyboard that appears when the device is closed and the physical QWERTY keyboard for use when open.

Other than Gmail, the Moment also has two other email clients (yes, we think three separate email clients on the same device is silly, too). It has a normal POP3/IMAP client that supports accounts such as Yahoo and other service providers. It works fine.

The Moment also includes a dedicated Microsoft Exchange email client, called "Work Email." You can set up how often email syncs to conserve battery life.

As for SMS and MMS, the Moment gets the job done. The messaging application is where you'll see threaded SMS conversations, which is simply the best way to interact with SMS. The composition screen for SMS or MMS is the same. For an MMS, you add an attachment to an SMS message, which can be a picture, video or sound clip.

The Moment also has AIM, Google Talk, Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo IM pre-loaded to satiate your instant message cravings.
