Samsung mobile with qwerty keyboard ?

Flat_Eric

I have always been a fan of Nokia mobiles and have been thinking of changing mobiles but it all seems to have got so confusing since I last bought a mobile phone - I am a pay as you go customer and don't like the idea of getting an i-phone or google phone and being stuck with a 24 month contract paying £35 plus a month.

I looked at some nokia models the other week and quite liked the look of the c3-00 but the other day I caught sight of a Samsung mobile where the screen slid open revealing a qwerty keyboard. I guess its similar to the Samsung Wave - can anyone offer any suggestions on what samsung model it might have been?

I want to remain a pay as you go customer and I'm happy to stick with Virgin Mobile or move to Orange.

I'm not fussed about having facebook or e-mail but would like the threaded text message facility and a qwerty keyboard - any suggestions of what models I should consider ? Budget for pay as you go about £50 I guess - will pay up to £80 I suppose

Every samsung I've had won't let you choose your own SMS tone which is a pain in the backside. But I'm a Chelsea fan, so I am honour-bound to get samsung. Got to pay for Torres somehow!

thats interesting. I like being able to change the ring tone and the text message sound etc

I'm tempted to stick with what I know and since my last two phones have been Nokia, thats what i think I am going to stick with. If only the nokia I'm interested in was just a few tens of pounds cheaper, I would be rushing out tomorrow to buy it.... I like the look of the Nokia c3-00 but are there any other new nokia mobiles people would recommend ? i want a qwerty keyboard and threaded messaging. would ideally like a better camera than 2 megapixel also.

nokia e7 offers a full qwerty keyboard but it uses Symbian system and wont come cheap ofc.
I recently happen to be looking for an android phone with full qwerty after using samsung omnia pro b7610 for 18 month. the closest thing I can see atm is htc desire z,which uses a fairly weak battery. I'd love to see a samsung galaxy s2 with a sliding keyboard but such model is yet to be announced.
