Good point!
I was looking at Gill's Samsung Galaxy earlier, and found BBC iPlayer. Within 2 seconds I'd found a programme and was watching it. We take this sort of thing for granted, but when we were kids, this was pure science fiction, in the realms of hover cars!

The virtual keyboards on current smartphones are quite good. You can use them in portrait and landscape mode. And last but not least the keys can't wear out.

No slide out keyboard though.

Wondering if anyone has any experience of smartphones that also have a slide out QWERTY keyboard, in particular the Sony Xperia Mini Pro. If you have, is it good or bad?
TBH, I'll probably end up switching to the phone Gill has, the Samsung Galaxy S2, although if I do, I'll be switching provider. I can get this free from Tesco Mobile (using T-Mobile network) but ironically if I stick with T-Mobile and go for this as an upgrade, it'll cost me £190!!
