I like the front facing camera idea, but I actually hate having a physical keyboard on my phones nowadays. Seems to just make the phone bigger and heavier. I also had the original Verizon/Motorola droid which had a completely worthless excuse for a keyboard. Perhaps that soured me on physical keyboards.

Now that I have Swype, not to mention the normal android keyboard, I'm pretty satisfied.




As much love as Swype gets, I still prefer the feeling of typing on a physical keyboard. They seem to be going out of fashion, but I really hope there's still an option for them. The main reason I picked my Droid was because of the keyboard.


Well, I want the phone also as a mini laptop. I read that it's hard to do things like ctrl-s on the virtual keyboard.


Is a bluetooth mini-keyboard good enough?


It might be actually. Are they small enough that I can fit both the phone and the keyboard together in my pocket?

Wouldn't it be smaller if the keyboard was integrated into the phone?
