    Getting a new phone

    I'm going to be getting a new phone soon but I don't know what is good right now so I've come here to ask. I'm going to be using TMobile and I'd like a keyboard smart phone. I can't stand touch screen keypads, but if it's a REALLY good phone I'll consider it. Money isn't too big of an issue. Any suggestions?

    UPDATE -
    I just remembered I'm going to be getting a new laptop soon too. How should I go about finding one? Is there custom building for laptops like there is for desktops? I'm trying to spend around 500-600 ish and I'd like a strong graphics card if possible. Any advice?

    I currently have a samsung galaxy note N7000, its abit big but its PERFECT! for me anyways, I'm also like you a prefer to have a qwerty keyboard but with such a big screen typing is a breeze. also Its awesome for movies and reading on the go I personally have over 4000chapters of manga on my phone xD (manga is a graphic novel)

    If you don't like touch screen keypads get the iPhone 4s use Siri to type your messages.

    Get a blackberry torch? It has a good keypad and you can use touch.

    Galaxy s3, the best phone out by far.
    Even though it doesn't have a keyboard the phone is fantastic, and you will not regret getting it. Most newer high tech phones don't have keyboards.

    It's a bit too clunky for me, because I'd really like to get a phone that isn't HUGE.
    I'm a huge fan of manga haha:)

    @Lilly
    I wonder how my teachers are going to react to that!
    I'm using Tmobile though so iPhones aren't possible

    @Ir0n
    I'll look that up, thanks.

    @Justin
    I was thinking about getting that, if there's no nice keyboard phones out there.

    Is there any particular reason you're not a fan of touch screen?

    I was a blackberry user before i switched to iPhone and it was the best transition i've ever made.

    Same, I used to love my blackberry, but since I moved to a touch screen a regular keyboard seems so primitive.

    Honestly once you get a touch screen smart phone I think you will end up loving it, especially if it is a great one like the iPhone or the s3. Come to think of it even my 60 year old grandmother uses an iPhone 4s.

    Galaxy Note is by far the best one out there.
    The screen IS big but big enough not to be too big. If that makes sense haha.
    Watching movies or tv on it makes it a perfect size. The camera is great. The memory is perfect.
    And whats even greater, if you dont like touch, there is a little pen included into the phone making it easier to use the touch screen + you can draw and do many other cool things.

    Defintely would recommend this to anyone.

    I think it's easier to text and faster with a keyboard, but I'm willing to use an iPhone, however, I can't because I'm Tmobile

    @Justin
    I might try the S3, I'll let you know if I love it as much as gmama :p

    @Rick
    I'll look that up, thanks!

    @Arto
    I will look that one up too, thank you!

    Let us know what you decide! and let me know what you think of the Galaxy Note. I think you'll be suprised. I'm curious.

    Leaning towards the S3, I'm seeing some really good reviews on it.
    I don't like the Note because it looks really big and clunky, but thanks for the suggestion!

    I'm using Tmobile so I can't go iPhone or I'd probably go iPhone since I'm used to my iTouch's keyboard

    That's ok. S3 is amazing too.
    I prefer the Note cause it is big and perfect for watching movies.
    I use my phone a lot on that and can actually see everything without having to squint my eyes. + the pen is fun haha.

    S3 is definitely the other Id suggest. My friend has it and its great.

    Galaxy note is by far the best phone out IMO its a big screen buts the phone itself is very light and thin it also has the bonus of stylus, My sister owns a iphone 4s and I can tell you its all just branding, you ar ejust paying for the brag rights of owning a overpriced phone, also the Samsung galaxy S3 is ok my mum has one but I can say the note is better imo, the S3 is a great phone but it's overpowered and it consumes battery life FAST its a good phone if you charge it regularly but dont expect it to last you for HOURS on end with constant use.

    Galaxy note is the best of both worlds, screen size, hardware can run pretty much anything also a built in stylus it's light and thin. also when typing horizontally the keyboard is much bigger than any keyboard phone you will find

    There are no good keyboard phones, its near impossible to get the same feeling on a phone that you would on a keyboard.

    Phone arguments can last all day with no clear winner but you can't really go wrong with an IPhone 4s. However, the new IPhone is speculated to be coming out this fall, so if you don't wanna wait, something like the Samsung Galaxy S3 would definitely not be a bad choice.

    Id highly recommend an iPhone, if your on a budget don't get the 4s get the 4 and save yourself quite a bit of money when their not much different.

    They are indeed a touchscreen but you said you'd consider it if its a REALLY good phone, well... imo its the BEST phone out there.
