Best Android phones with keyboards
We round-up the best Android smartphones that have a full, physical QWERTY keyboard
Touchscreen smartphones are currently all the rage in the mobile phone market, largely thanks to the iPhone and the rising popularity of Android phones. Although touchscreen is the preferred input for general use, many consumers prefer typing on a physical keyboard rather than a touchscreen. For these users, we've rounded up the best Android smartphones that combine a touchscreen, and a full QWERTY keyboard.
1 / 9
The HTC Desire Z is an excellent smartphone, mainly due to a combination of Google's excellent Android platform and HTC's Sense UI. However, its biggest selling point -- the "pop-out" physical QWERTY keyboard -- has a poorly designed hinge mechanism that detracts from the handset's overall appeal.
