Android phones.

Quick question:  Anyone know of an Android mobile phone that has a built-in physical (not touch screen) keyboard?  I really loathe touch screen keyboards (like the one on my iPod), but unfortunately it seems all phones are heading that way.  Even the newer Blackberry and newer Nokia look like iOS/Android rip-offs (the Nokia one might even use Android, I don't know).  Just I really like the keyboard on my Nokia C6...

Edit: I guess I should add why I'm thinking of getting another phone.  Despite the fact I like the C6, it is slow and doesn't have enough RAM so even web browsing can bring it to its knees.  On top of which there is very little useful software (I'm not interested in noise generators or a program that claims to turn my phone into a torch) for the C6 on the Nokia store -- and I have no interest in going back to C++ to write my own.

Haven't bought a new phone yet, but I did score an ZTE V9 Optus My Tab tablet off of my sister last night.  Pretty low end from what I gather (certainly wouldn't buy one), but might be useful while checking out this whole Android thing.  Plus, can't really argue with 'free' now can I?

So far it's been quite fun to play with.  I could really see me attempting to get something of my own running on this device.  Has some options if you are using this for development too.  Mind you I guess that's standard Android fare.  Can supposedly be upgraded to Android 2.2 (I'm guessing that's still old) but wont be able to until I've got a SIM card.  At the moment it's running off of my own wireless network quite happily.
