New phone time!

[chrispattinson]

Im looking for a new contract phone, but I do not want a touch screen phone.
Im looking at the Blackberry Bold 9700, I like the idea of a qwerty keyboard, however, Im open to havinmg the standard 12 buttons on a phone aswell.
Any suggestions would be welcome, looking for a decent camera, mp3 / podcast compatability.... gmail integration, google calendar integration would be useful.

Are there any Android phones with buttons?

thanks for any help, Chris.

HTC Hero I think it is, but thats a t-mobile one. Thats touch screen with slide out keyboard.

I like the Omnia Pro, but noone seems to want to stock it cause it will be against the iphone.

Cheers, Ill have a look at the HTC phone. The last phone I had was the Omina i900, nice phone, but couldnt get away with the touch screen.

Just got a nice cheap Nokia E63 with full qwerty keyboard.
It's very good indeed. I just wanted to be able to pick up my e-mails and send e-mails and it works a treat. My missus has an iphone, and that is the dogs, but the Nokia was free on the Virgin £10 a month tariff, so bargain.

the nokia E71 is the big brother to the e63. Has a better camera and 3g. It really is a great phone and the keyboard is ace.

e72, free on most tariffs and improvements on the e71, Touch pro 2, yes its a touch but slide out qwerty keyboard and very good to use.
