Re: Just give me a frikking keyboard!
With you on that one, my favourite ever smartphone was my old HTC Touch Pro (Actually an O2 XDA Serra, but I installed the stock HTC TouchFlo 3D on it) and it was absolutely perfect for what I needed. Always hated Blackberry keyboards, must have fat fingers.
Clearly little demand though, it used to be an HTC specialty but haven't seen one from any manufacturer (other than BB) since the HTC 7 Pro.
