My Samsung Impression has an AMOLED screen. While the resolution is decent, the colors and contrast are amazing. A lot of people are amazed at how photos look on my phone.

I was at a t-mobile store yesterday and this phone is crazy awesome! Its really thin and is running Android 2.1 (for now). Its really light weight and the one noticeable feature I liked was the animated wallpapers. 4 inch screen also :wow

Yeah it's made. A lot of people I know like a physical keyboard. A lot of people I know have Blackberrys because of that. Well that and it is the most sold smartphone on the market today.

People who have big fingers find a physical keyboard much easier to deal with than touchscreen.

It depends on the phone

The BB keyboard is not for people with big fingers

That makes no sense.

A touchscreen keyboard can make use of the entire width of the phone. This allows for much larger keys to press as well as more spaces between the keys. If anything, a touchscreen keyboard should benefit large-handed individuals more than anyone else, particularly on a phone that's 4" or larger.

It's the positive tactile feedback. With keys, even small keys, you know when you're pressing the key and when you're not, as opposed to aiming at some area and hoping you hit one key and not another. I can't make a freakin' iPhone keypad work for shit.

Hey, it makes sense to me, anyway.

How long did you try typing on the iPhone? It takes some getting used to. At least a week.

My Impression has both a touchscreen keypad and a slide out keyboard. The slide out is actually larger than the touchscreen. I'm much more accurate on the physical keyboard. However, I actually type faster on the touchscreen keyboard, including the time it takes me to erase a typo.

It really depends on how much time I have to send a text (am I at work or home) which determines which keypad I use.

I prefer a physical KB over a touch screen one any day, That's why I ended up staying with my blackberry over the new HTC Evo.

Waiting for the damn Epic 4g to get a release date. I wanted the Evo until this was announced a month ago.
