e-Mobi

Facebook to Foursquare and Twitter, these are the first few apps some users will download and install straightaway on a new smartphone to stay connected. Although there are stand alone programs for these social-networking sites, a few phone-makers have taken things one step further by integrating them as one of the core features in their handsets.

Here is a list of top 5 phones which provides awesome social networking experience

BlackBerry Torch 9800 offers both a touchscreen and full Qwerty keyboard; BlackBerry OS 6 brings improvements such as a better user interface, universal search, and an improved browser and multimedia experience.

Though performance could be better and it could stand for some hardware upgrades, the RIM BlackBerry Torch 9800 and BlackBerry OS 6 offer much-needed improvements to stay in step with the competition, and keep BlackBerry enthusiasts happy.

You can toggle between Social and RSS views or filter to each of the social-network source including Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and BlackBerry Messenger. You can also broadcast to all social networks at one go and see recent communications you've had with a person in the Contacts list.

Motorola DEXT/CLIQ:-The Motorola DEXT would probably be the social networking phone of the moment. Most of that is down to the MotoBlur custom UI that sits on top of the Android build. The home screen has large customisable widgets, but on it you can have quite in depth access to Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and Bebo.

The contacts book goes even further and pulls in all the updates on all channels from all of your friends via the Happenings app, which is at the heart of this UI. You can poke, write on people's walls and, when you place a call, it brings up your contact's current status - either an instant ice-breaker or a topic of conversation for you to avoid.

Naturally, you can filter the social noise down with a well placed series of tabs but probably one of the nicest feature is that you can update the four listed social networks with the same status message at the touch of a single button. It'll also do direct photo uploads to Facebook, MySpace, Picasa and Photobucket.

The handset it self is both touch and QWERTY-enabled. It has a decent 3.1-inch screen to play with and a 5-megapixel camera too. The good news for those that are a fan is that the upcoming Motorola Backflip is going to have MotoBlur at the helm as well.
