If you have a simple phone (I.e. not a smart phone) which model do you have? Do you like it?

I would like one that has a full keyboard, preferably flat and not a slide out or side flip. Is there such a thing?

Pretty sure these are obsolete or going to be very soon as they won't work on current networks.
You should ask the cellphone companies to confirm.

A family member just mentioned they were looking into Nokia Asha 300, it's meant to be cheap and has a 5mp camera. I don't know if it's good and it does not have a full keyboard. Check out the Nokia phones, they do a few non-smartphones that family members have had good use of; perhaps they have something you'll like.

I'm plain interested to know if it is possible to buy a phone like you describe?

I have a samsung 350 with a keyboard, I know a few ppl who have this phone. It's cheap and does the job. I think dh bought it refurbished on ebay or something.

I have one as well, it's a little workhorse. After 5 years my battery isn't too happy but it merely needs more frequent charging.

Thanks for your replies.

With a full keyboard I meant a qwerty keyboard. Seems like the Nokia and Samsung mentioned above don't have a qwerty keyboard are all.

So if I can't get a flat full qwerty phone, what's the next best slide out or side flip full keyboard phone?

PS I'm downgrading from an android. I don't want it too bee too a painful downgrade Wink

I have this phone.

It was dropped maybe 50 times and works great. I use it for talking/texting. My prepaid plan officially has some data in the plan but I can't go online from my phone.

I looked high and low for such a phone recently and discovered that they don't make them anymore. You can only buy the phone without the full keyboard. You can get an old used one on eBay though, but I couldn't find any for a decent price. I ended up upgrading to a smartphone.

I had a pantech link with a full qwerty keyboard and I really liked it. I doubt they make them anymore but perhaps you can find it on ebay.
