3G alternative to touch screen phone

loofer

I'm not keen on a touch screen phone. Never liked the Samsung E900 I had a few years ago and also sold on my SE Vivaz last year after less than a month.

After a good 3G phone that's the equivalent of the likes of:
Samsung Galaxy S
Iphone 4
HTC Desire HD.

I don't think I will be able to text as quick and as easily as I normally do. Can also sometimes do it without looking at screen, don't think I'll be able to do that on touch screen either.

Would be looking at using interweb so would like a decent size screen. Can't really see myself using QWERTY keyboard.

UNLESS... somebody can convince me that they were also in same position as me but made the leap and has never looked back.

Lets face it everything is touch these days some have slide out keyboards. I had a nokia n95 8gb and loved it great for almost everything, i changed reluctantly to a sony ericsson x10i in april love it 4inch screen quicker internet etc just recently sold my nokia as i wont be going back.

It's all a matter of opinion but I reckon the best non-touchscreen phone available is probably the Blackberry 9700. Of course, if you're after apps then the availability is limted and they do tend to be expensive for Blackberry. If you're looking for Android then the new Desire Z with its qwerty keyboard is worth a look, although there seems to be limited availability of it at the moment.

Go for a Blackberry Bold 9700

It's better than all that touch screen rubbish and does email sooooo much better.

Not to hijack this thread, but I am looking for a similar thing, but I need a big keyboard as I rarely wear my glassess when walking around and have a problem with small keypads. Any ideas?
