Ok, my wife is struggling with her phone.
It's an LG Optimus-T that I got on Fleabay. It works ok (for me) but it's just a bit too laggy for her - I can compensate but she just wants it to work. Fair enough.
The phone she had a few years back that she loved was a Palm Centro. Old school Palm.
She's a google girl so that of it being Android is great for her, but she'd like a (responsive) keyboard.
I'm thinking Blackberry but have no experience with them at all - not sure how well gmail, google calendar and all that stuff works on a BB?
Price not hugely an issue if it solves her problems - she uses her phone a lot and gets a lot of value from it. Resistance to damage from dropping would be good...
Reason I say quadband is that we're moving out of the Wind coverage area in a few months. It might still be cheaper to be on Wind though... I'm on Wind PAYG and I think I will stay that way even when I live Wind Away. But we'll see for her - she's currently on the unlimited Christmas plan for $40+tax from a couple of winters back.
So: Are there any good quadband android phones with a keyboard? Or perhaps just a really nicely responsive touchscreen?
She was using her friend's iPhone the other day and wasn't hugely impressed, apparently, so maybe keyboard is the way for her.
Any thoughts?
Cheers!
