Hi Jenny,
Keep in mind you are only using Android 2.1 Ecclaire, and some of the
features, such as voice input, weren't introduced into Mobile
Accessibility
for version 2.1, only 2.2 Froyo and up. If the 2.3 phone has no physical
keyboard then you would use the virtual keyboard. So it is really your
choice what you prefer in the end. I, myself, do prefer a physical
keyboard,
hence why I have the Samsung Transform Ultra from Boost Mobile. It is
right
now running 2.3 4, and I wish it would get an update to ICS, but sadly I
don't think that will happen. Ah well. Hope this helps.
Cindy and "Mesa"

Hi,
I spoke to t-mobile and they could either offer me a Samsung Gravity
with
a
qwerty keyboard which is 2.1, or a LG, I forget the name of it, but it
also
had a qwerty keyboard, but it had nothing screen on that slider part and
so
I figured the qwerty would be smaller in size and harder to deal with
even
though it was a 2.3.
I hope I made the right decision getting the regular qwerty, but I have
thirty days to decide whether I like it or not.

thanks for the info. Maybe when I have the money, they'll have a
different
phone that is free for the promotion.

the virtual keyboard will work just fine. It is the need for physical
navigational controls that might require a physical one. If you get a
phone with just a physical track pad or trackball, it will work just
fine.
The only time you might want a physical keyboard is for dialing
extensions or selecting options in a telephonic menu tree and even
then,
on the phones that have them, the physical track balls and pads will
help
you there as well.

thanks. I was hoping though, that I wouldn't have to carry a separate
keyboard.
Why won't the virtual keyboard on the phone work?

just because it is made from apple doesn't mean it shouldn't work.
the
thing i would suggest is going to a t mobile store. seeing if they
allow u to test your keyboard on a phone or two that u may like that
may
be on display. this way, u can be sure that your keyboard will or
would
work.

I think you may be confused. Phones with physical keyboards usually
slide
or flip open. This allows for very rapid typing speeds as compared with
the
virtual keyboard. Most carriers offe at least one phone fortheir
android
package with a physical keyboard.

Hi all,
I have a choice between the phone with the qwerty keyboard which is
running
2.1, or a My Touch 4 which runs 2.3. It only has a track pad on it.
my only concern is that with the My Touch, you wouldn't be able to input
numbers if asked to in phone menus when you call a business. Can you do
that with the track pad, or are you pretty much up a creek if you don't
have
a qwerty.
I know I'm asking a lot of questions, but I don't want to be stuck with
a
phone I hate,like the qwerty because I'm not good at those. However, I
don't want to get a phone with a track pad and virtual key pad, which
I'm
good at, but not be able to access menues during phone calls.
thanks in advance for your patience.
Jenny

well, i wouldn't recommend the 2.1, i have a 2.1 device and most of
the software is now being written for 2.2 and above leaving 2.1
behind. the device i have was supposed to receive a second update
when i purchased, but shortly after the purchase motorola and
t-mobile decided that it wouldn't update the device leaving me with a
device that will soon not be supported by most of the software on the
market.
