Hi. I have the HTC Cha Cha. It's a very good phone as I have the
option to use a qwerty keypad. It's a shame that the new I-phone
doesn't have a physical qwerty keypad built in to the hardware as I
would then buy in to Apple. I gave up with Nokia as very few apps are
accessible and I'm getting alot more out of my Android phone. If Apple
was affordable to everyone then I would of opted for Apple as their
platform is very stable.
