QWERTY Android phone

MasterScythe on 19/01/2013 - 19:37

Hello,

Ive been looking for an Android QWERTY phone for a while. I tried the BoostDroid, which was frustratingf with its resistive touch.

I tried for a chacha in the recent deals over the last 6 months, but I guess there are a lot of people that need smart phones out there more than I do, as they sold out quickly.

Im tempted by Kogans 5.0 upcoming phone (rebranded star n8000 isnt it?) as I think 5.0" may be big enough to type semi-reliably. but qwerty is far prefered.

For $75 I can get the chacha at EBGAMES, and now we know the fix for the battery drain issues and people get 48hrs+ before recharge, thats tempting too.

Can someone suggest a decent phone that suits my plans? Sub $200 preferably. I generally keep phones for about 4 years between upgrades and my E63 is a little long in the tooth; it actually stops loading webpages which is annoying.

thanks!!

Scythe.

    Hi Scythe, What is the Chacha battery drain fix?

    basically turning off all the features a slide or flip phone might use, will usually stop the dialer using 99% battery.
