Reccomendations for a feature packed mobile, with actual keyboard

happy2bhere

Looking for a new mobile that has a decent qwerty keyboard. I've had to put up with a virtual keyboard on my samsung tocco lite for far too long! I had a little play with the Sony Erricson Mini Pro, which i quite liked but would prefer something with a bigger screen. It has to have a decent camera, hd video and mp3 player. Would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, but i was kind of hoping that people would reccomend models based on personal use.

The Nokia E63 I once had was pretty good all around but it was a cut down version of the E72 which is better.

Both are though old and don't think they cover all the features you want, good camera but not HD.

The basic blackberry 8520 I have now is ace for internet and email, use, camera nothing to shout about and does have some a pretty good mp3 playing capabilities. I would look for a newer blackberry if you want the features you are looking for.

Rusty!

Desire Z might be worth a look, getting on a bit now, but bigger and better than the Xperia Mini Pro.

Thanks for the replies. I did have a look at the htc desire z, but heard that the camera wasn't that great.

It is worth noting, that tocco lite has a resistive touchscreen, unlike the majority of smaprtphones. Capacitive screens are much better, especially if used with swipe keyboard (ETA: available as a free app for all smartphones).

Thanks, I'm now considering all smartphones and my head is about to explode!!!

If you want a smartphone with physical keyboard, your only option is Blackberry.

But if you compare features like for like with Android phones, Blackberry's look pricier. But most popular Android phones are touch screen only.

I would look at the SE Xperia Pro, also worth noting what grumbler said
is true the tocco lite has a horrible screen, my wife had one and hated it!
