So I'm having a harder and harder time trying to find a good WinMo US 3G (850/1900) capable QWERTY bar phone. Preferably one with a touch screen. I've been using the HP 912 for the last year or so, but it continues to disappoint as a phone. Is there something out there that I'm missing? Or is this segment just being ignored in lieu of iPhone-like touchscreens? I just can't type fast enough on them and as a result, can't justify moving to one.
Would love to hear from all of those out there that write a lot of emails on their phones and what they're using. Sliders unfortunately don't do the trick at this point, but I'm gradually warming up to them.
Thanks in advance!

Well, your HTC options are pretty much limited to the HTC snap and ozone, though the latter isn't available yet and they don't have touch screens. HTC does make the touch pro and touch pro 2, which have keyboards, 3G and touschscreens, but then again they're not bars, but sliders. There is also the HTC dream, ofcourse, to which I am partial, that has a touch screen and a keyboard and 3G, but it's also a slider and runs android instead of winmo.
Other than that, there's a whole slew of blackberries that are bars, with keyboards and 3G, but they don't have touch screens.
Personally I think you can choose two of the following:
[]touchscreen
[]bar (non-slider)
[]keyboard
I guess the HTC snap is closest to your specifications.

You're right on the 2 out of 3 thing unfortunately. I'm looking to move to an Android phone this fall, so maybe that will do the trick.
Thanks for your thoughts.
