Title: Review: Qwerty Smartphones
Post by: Simon on April 14, 2010, 12:35

Despite the increased screen sensitivity of large-display smartphones such as the iPhone, many of us still prefer to have a good, solid keyboard with real, tactile keys for texting, firing out emails or composing our memoirs.  While predictive text systems like SureType or T9 can be fast, they can also be a pain, so there's really no substitute for a fully-specced Qwerty keyboard if your messages need to go beyond the Twitter level.

An interesting choice of non-touchscreen smartphones, with 'real' keyboards.  :)

Funny, I can't get worked up about phones - my big question is "is the call quality good". It would have been different a decade ago.
