You might want to look at the Palm Treo! It has a miniature "qwerty"
keyboard. I'd say that is a necessity if you are going to be doing a
lot of texting! Punching the 2ABC key four times to get a "C" may be
tolerable for rare text messages but it would be a royal PITA for more
than twenty or thirty characters a day!
