I wouldn't be able to deal with a physical keyboard now. At one point I remember preferring it. It was the reason why I left T-Mobile for Sprint. When the galaxy 1 came out, Sprint had the keyboard version so I had to switch. But once I was due for the upgrade and got the 3, it was all touchscreen. I can't imagine not using Skype. Hate typing out each letter. Don't know how iPhone heads do it. Especially on the older models with small screens. Only females with small fingers are ever comfortable typing on those phones.
