My contract with my current provider, O2, runs out late this year and I want to replace my old N95 8GB.
I'm really interested in getting an android phone, but I don't know what phones I should be looking out for. The features I definitely want to get is a full qwerty keyboard*, a 3.5 jack, a smoother browsing experience than my N95 (I have the urge to take it to a sledge hammer sometimes), and better battery life than my N95. I like the look of the recently announced Acer A1, but it lacks the qwerty keyboard I have been craving for so long.
Also I am thinking about buying my next phone up front without a contract, does this make sense cost wise in the long term?
Edit: with regard to storage I don't mind if the internal storage is poor as long as it has decent SD support.
