It's unfortunate that full keyboard phones are on the way out.
I remember when i wanted my first android, i wanted to get the Motorola Droid and i mentioned it around my parents multiple times, and my Dad got me an Android phone for my graduation of highschool because he said it would be very useful in college (he was right), but i remember he got me the Droid Incredible, not knowing there were multiple Android phones haha.
I know i hated the idea of not having a full physical keyboard but soon fell in love with a full touch screen.
