Hi,

last year (after 5 years) my good old HTC Blue Angel (a.k.a. MDA III) refused to work, I wanted to buy a HTC Touch Pro 2. But ... it wasn't available at that time. Release date was 3 month later $%&$§.

I have to admit, using touchscreen input or repeated klicks on numbers on pure phone keyboards for sending SMS or writing text makes it a pain in the a** for me. So I completely stick to Smartphones with QWERTY keyboards.

As I won't pay for additional services a Blackberry was off limits. The iPhone, without keyboard was no option either.
But I needed a new phone at once, and I bought an xPeria X1 (well it is build by HTC, so why not...). But I should have waited for the Touch Pro 2 ;-) The X1 is a good phone, for sure. But this small display is killing me. I am definetely in need for a hand lens. :-(

My next Smartphone will have Android and a touchscreen as big as possible!! And I don't care if it plays music or movies, bakes cookies or pays my taxes automatically. It simply has to have office suite, still can be used as a phone ;-), can display text without becoming blind and it has to be fast!

So..for me neither iPhone nor Blackberry :-)

>Using a HTC Touch I am dependent on Contacts, ToDos, Reminders (odd periods like every 2 months, 6 months, particular day of the month like 3rd Wed. of any month or 2/6 months), eBooks using MobiPocket, the Office Suite and Notes. I can understand they will have their own brand of hopefully equivalent products, but I would not like to get tied to one supplier. Like I use FinchSync to snyc my contacts, Todos and Reminders with Thunderbird and SunBird.
