Opinions wanted on keyboard style

[khunter08]

So I'm considering replacing my 5 year old Nokia E62 (which really is a smartphone) with a new device. However, I really like the tactile feel of a keyboard (which incidentally I can enter data without looking). What are your opinions?

Except for it's lack of speed, I really like my Nokia because it will make a call (of excellent quality) anywhere and I can see the screen in bright sunlight. I'm considering something like the Nokia Lumia 800, but what about the keyboard...

WP7.5 ??? You say. Because maybe, finally, I can have all my calendars and contacts play nice and really sync so I don't have to keep at least three copies/versions (Outlook, OVI, Yahoo). Maybe even my documents might be easier to edit and submit.

So I've covered more than just a keyboard issue let's start a discussion.

I have an e61 an much prefer its keyboard to the touchscreen on my wife's Android phone.
