There was a time when the QWERTY phone (i.e. a handset with a physical keyboard) was reserved exclusively for slick haired business people with no time to mess around with a dial pad.

Blackberry Bold 9700 deals on contract
RIM´s successor to the original Bold from November 2009, this sleeker take on the chunky retro leatherette-styled handset feels pleasant to hold, and defies conventional phone stylings.
The BlackBerry Bold 9700 includes an optical touch pad for navigation, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a bright LCD display. It’s also 3G-capable and offers UMA support for Wi-Fi calls, Bluetooth, and GPS. It also gets a faster processor and updates to BlackBerry OS 5.0, with enhanced messaging and calendar capabilities.
Like all BlackBerry products, the Bold 9700 features the 35-button QWERTY keyboard, which continues to offer great messaging capabilities. The individual keys have raised ridges for clear definition, and though not as spacious as the original Bold´s, the large and comfortable buttons are ideal for typing text messages and even long e-mails. Blackberry’s push email service notifies you of incoming mail as soon as it hits the server. The upgraded 3.2 megapixel camera is a noticeable improvement, with crisper images, faster response, and optional GPS geo-tagging.

Ultimately, the Bold 9700 essentially provides a cheap, stylish and somewhat retro platform which allows for great textual communication, and has decent media playing capabilities, especially if microSD cards are used to boost memory by up to 16GB. Ideal for business.

When it comes to smart phones, there are two main types that people choose from, those with QWERTY keyboards, and those without. For those without, the style is pretty straight: a large touch screen display and of course, a spiffy camera. Keyboard toting handsets have to bring in an added factor: additional bulk. This makes it actually quite challenging for smart phone developers. RIM (and previously, also Palm) has already perfected the front...
