I don't really mind about a physical keyboard as I have a full qwerty keyboard on my current phone (which isn't touch screen) so I'm used to the small buttons, also friends of mine have iPods and iPhones so I'm quite used to on screen keyboards as well. What I really want from a phone is for the OS to be open source, provide a really good web experience and have apps which allow me to get on and do things like IRC, email, twitter and the like. Is it true that the android phones still don't support flash?<br>

</div>While you can't quite touch type on a phone keyboard you can usually<br>
use two fingers (or thumbs) to good effect. Yes the layout isn't quite<br>
the same as a desktop keyboard but once you get used to it, I find<br>
it's still faster than any on screen keyboard. Having to peck out one<br>
character at a time is enough to put me off using on screen keyboards<br>
altogether. Although I realise it's a bit subjective, iPad users seem<br>
to manage with their flat touchscreen 'keyboards' just fine...<br>
