Looking to become an android user. However, after looking at the models available, I'm not sure I want a phone with a physical keyboard. Seems like the keyboards are always about 2/3 the size of the phone and are pretty small keywise. Also, the phones with the larger displays don't seem to be the ones with the keyboards anyway.
What I'm wondering is does any company sell a folio type case with a keyboard that could be used with an android phone. My hands get really cold in the winter and I've found it hard to use a lot of touch screen devices because they are heat sensitive and they don't seem to pick up my cold fingers.
Also, a folio type keyboard would allow a larger keyboard and could make the phone almost like a netbook type setup when that was needed. And, as a thinkpad owner, one with a trackpoint would be ideal(probably wishful thinking tho).
I plan to install ssh and console tools so I can remote login to my servers and using a virtual keyboard sucks because you can't see what you are doing, and not really an option during winter months for me.
I've looked and can't seem to find anything like this. Everything is for a tablet, and that's not an option on a phone for protability.
Thanx
