    Does anyone know of a good and cheap pay as you go phone I can get that has a physical qwerty keypad on it?

    I'm not fussy about brands, or camera, or other features as I just want to see how I find the qwerty keyboard before I choose between Blackberry Z10 and Q10.

    Thanks Davy but that's a bit on the expensive side for what I need :(
    I am looking at the vodafone snapchat now.

    The Nokia Asha would have been great for this experiment.

    You can't compare other keyboards with Blackberry's. They work quite differently. The way they predict and auto complete words. Not to mention the physical keyboard quality.

    Yeah, I've never seen a keypad as bad as on Blackberrys. Avoid at all costs.

    The new one has a different one to the old phones. Both virtually and physically.

    You either like it or you don't its subjective.

    I know it's subjective but I don't like them. I haven't use one in a year so I don't know if it's any different now.

    OP if you live in Dublin, go to a chinese phone shop. There is tons on Moore Street, that have hundreds of different phones to try. If you see one you like you could Im sure probably buy it new on amazon
