Qwerty?

Have an LG cookie, liking the look of the nokia 5230, but it mentions on tmobile website that it has qwerty, does this mean it has the little flip out keyboard?

I like the LG GW520 due to this as my current cookie phone as much as i like the touchscreen option and use the little stylus pen quite a bit i am struggling with words i type disappearing so wanted to give the keyboard a go.

    Oh right, so like the option that my current LG cookie has, as i just turn that side ways and a keyboard appears....hmm dunno which to go for, really like both phones.

    The flip out models do tend to be that much thicker, which can be a factor.

    Also with the on screen kb's you do have the option to download and install other versions. So you can have bigger buttons or other layouts.

    Depends what you're looking for. . .

    The cookie is too awkward to use, the keyboard is too big and you can't really do much with it without spending a few hours. On plus side, it does have the pen you can use to spend a few minutes tapping away a few lines.

    Got Nokia E63, physical keyboard - whilst awkward still to use but better than having a touch screen.

    The cookie is my current phone, my 1st experience of a touch screen, but finding it awkard as was quiet quick at texting when you used numbers etc on your keypad, so looking for something different yet still do like the style my cookie.
