Thread: QWERTY keyboard mobile phone?

Sony Xperia, not cheap to buy outright though. A top phone to use.

Are you wanting a phone with a button type keyboard or simply a full qwerty touch keyboard displayed on the screen?

From a quick google I cant even find any button type QWERTY phones marketed in Aus apart from BlackBerry.

Can you recommend the missus learn how to use the swipe keyboards

I have a HTC Dream tucked away in my draw (first android phone). I actually quite liked the keyboard but I can type a lot quicker with the swipe type keyboards on modern phones.

The old Nokia 9000 comunicater would be the go,but i don't think it would work on todays network.

SWMBO had one for work for ages,simple to use and easy to type on,it was the leading phone in its day.

I have a Nokia Asha 302 full QWERTY keypad phone. It is cheap, has a poor camera but it works very well for phone/text/simple internet stuff.

I only got my first mobile phone last year. I went with a Sony zyperia, I like it. My main issue is why qwerty. My phone is qwerty but it was designed for type write machines in the late 1800's. It's initial use was to stop the mechanism jamming. There are several alternatives in typing design, ( speed, ease, layout etc) It is very interesting to google them. Anyway I'm using a qwerty right now. ( but I reckon I'd be rubbish on any phone - did I say this has taken two days to type)

Not sure about the modern crop of phones, but I have a Nokia E71 in pretty good nick that you can have for nought - I would guess it might need a battery. Won't do 4G, but does 3G and everything else, including WiFi, Bluetooth etc. Even has GPS!

The Xperia has various keyboard options in the settings. QWERTY is familiar for most people.

By way of clarification by QWERTY keyboard I do mean a separate keyboard with 'hard' keys rather than on the touchscreen.
