Hi. When I had the HTC Cha Cha! That phone was a joy to use as it had a keyboard. With typing, you can never be productive even if the keyboard is now accessible with JB4.2 and I think companies like Samsung should still be putting out one model with a keyboard at least. I've always been use to qwerty keyboard phones as I had a Nokia E5 with Mobile Speak. If Fleksi comes out on Android then that might encourage me to buy an updated phone like the Samsung Galaxy 3.
