qwerty wifi phone

[dabster]

I have realized that I can't sustain on touchscreen phone. I changed to touch smartphone recently. after being on nokia n70 for 4 years. looking for querty keypad smartphones. bugdet max of 12k. minimum requirement is with wifi and mostly not looking for blackberry( which I think are pretty closed device with not much options) until somebody can convince me otherwise.
my options:
nokia e series ? wch ones
nokia c3 - cheap but old
nokia asha 302. looks good but haven't seen a hands on review yet.
motorola fire - slow and old

any other suggestions reviews are welcome.

Thanks.

FK reviews are mostly biased and by noobs.

fire - no

• low resolution
• low ppi, eventually not upto the mark display
• no autofocus

still, if someone call a fone slow, then its a point worthy enough for a second thought.

You should obviously go through them, but not take them for granted.

@icebags @dashing.sujay point noted.

nobody said anything on nokia options. man they are really going of business . though Asha 302 looks decent. I am fine with reliable S40/S60 OS then duos which i haven't seen good reviews about.

Back again on one of the best offerings : motorola Pro + 12k on ebay, but no warranty. motorola india doesn't sell it here.

how about LG optimus pro etc ?

There's HTC chacha too. The Facebook phone.

If you want nokia, then E71 it is.

Left the idea of qwerty keypad phones as of now. tried using them and problem was the smaller keys weren't of any help.. android keyboard in landscape mode seem to be the best option I can make use of.

try one of the sideways slider. those have bigger keys.

Why anyone is not suggesting the BB 9300 which is a very good qwerty phone, I think the best right now in the budget.
And I haven't used chacha so can't say much about it.But it is supposed to be good.
And also if you comfortable with seller warranty then Xperia Pro for 14.5K is also a very good option.

@Op by saying u have left the idea of a qwerty phone do u mean a qwerty keypad is not neccessary???
