New phone for a child - a "slider".

Henry Ford III

My daughter is getting her 1st phone at christmas.

The only thing is she's style conscious and wants a slider type with a qwerty keyboard. Not a flip type.

I've seen a few such as a Sony Ericsson Xperia x10 or mini pro, but that style appears to be on the wane.

Is there any others I should look at? It'll be sim free or payg incidentally.

Not many about with that style anymore not over this side of the pond anyway. There were some motorola devices in teh US that had this style alright.
There was a desire Z with it see amazon link.

Or I have seen cases with keyboards that connect via bluetooth and still inside the case.
Altho most of what I've linked to here is for 7" tablets.
