If you want a phone with buttons, you'll find you have very limited options. Most current generation mid to high end phone hardware relies on touchscreen input, and low end phones generally won't have touchscreens. If you want a full keyboard and something more business oriented, you could get an older Blackberry model such as the Curve or Bold, or ideally the newest Q10 which runs the latest version of the Blackberry operating system. If you want a more open operating system, you could get a Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere 2 or Motorola Droid, which both run on recent versions of Android.

I wouldn't mind a Nokia but I expect they don't do a touchscreen and buttons phone. Which OS is better Blackberry or Android?

Hi! My name is Caleb Anderson and I am the owner of the technology blog techtalknow.wordpress.com. I recently did a 2012-2013 Smartphone review that could possibly be of assistance. The link is: http://techtalknow.wordpress.com/2013/0 ... ne-review/

Please let me know if this is helpful or not. For operating system, I own an iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, Apple TV 3, and Nexus 7. Android takes the lead when it comes to mobile OS.

Kool yeah that was helpful, you should do video reviews of the phones as well and upload the vids onto youtube?
