There seems to be a wide choice of phones with a qwerty keyboards these days so its hard to know without actually spending time time each individual phone to know exactly which is the best in terms of use so it would nice if people could post their own individual experiences and then maybe we can decide on the overall best phone?

My husband's work phone is the HTC Touch Pro and it has one of the best qwerty keyboards I've ever seen in a phone.

Nokia's E72 / E71 are great! Awesome devices.
See my photos taken with the C902, Satio or E72 in here! |

based only on my experience with Nokia E63, Samsung OmniaPRO B7320, and BlackBerry Curve 8520... the best QWERTY for me would be the BlackBerry Curve 8520. |

The phone in your avatar is still my favorite QWERTY phone. Small keys but still easy to hit the right ones when typing fast. If I could just find a good audio book player for it...

Best on-screen QWERTY has to be the one on the iPhone in portrait mode i can write a large sms or post in no time.
Best physical i would say the BB Curve 8310, BB Bold 9000, Nokia E63,and Nokia E90. The newer BB 8900 Curve's keyboard keys are realy tiny i find that i have to make sure i hit each key with the top of my thumb,wheres the 8310 keys are a bit larger and you type without always having to look down,same with the 9000, which IMO is the best BB in terms of ergonomics.
Overall though id take the iPhone's on screen QWERTY, it just works so well.

I knew that the iphone's qwerty would pop up in here although i love everything about the iphone i'm no fan of virtual keyboards there just isn't any satisfaction in typing compared to using actual physical keys |

Problem is i do use the qwerty keyboard a lot in my phones for lengthy text message and e-mail and and need something which is as close as possible to my laptop keyboard i know that isn't entirely possible but i'm sure you get the idea

As close as possible to a "real" keyboard ? HTC Touch Pro, as mentioned before , have a look at it, not on pics, but in a shop, to get the right feel, great typing device !
It's big, though.

The phone pictured above is my husband's, the "original" Touch Pro, meanwhile there's a new version, Touch Pro2, keyboard seems to be the same, though.

BB Bold 9000. An absolute joy to type on that keypad!
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009 |
