I have a Nokia E65. The volume is just too low and the screen size is too small. Browsing also feels slow. Please suggest a phone that will preform better in these areas.

I'm looking at the Touch I know it has a bigger screen (my biggest issue) but would the call quality be better (especially on speaker) and is the wi-fi faster for browsing?

I would like a keyboard. I do a lot of texting and I have no experience with touch screens.

I'm willing to spend up to $450.00/ Maybe $500.00

If you can wait a sales quarter, Garmin Nuvifone will be out by then. Check out the MEDIA GALLERY section for pictures.

3.5" touchscreen, HSDPA, 3.5G, Google Local Search, Gmail and Google Panaramio, Garmin GPS, MP3 player, WiFi, video & stills with automatic geotagging, Bluetooth & MPEG4 video support.

There's video on Youtube of it.

This has everything I was hoping for. I'm not a fan of touch screen, but I will give this one serious consideration along with the BlackBerry Bold this fall to replace my current Berry.

At first I was like man, I just want a phone with wi-fi but...

After looking at the Nuvifone I recalled that my old Magellan roadmate 700 is "Old". Although I only use it 6 weeks out of the year (vacationing in the U.S. & Canada) it would definitely be worth going over budget for the turn by turn feature.

I might just wait for the Nuvifone.

Anyone have a suggestion that has a keyboard or keypad?
