Looking to buy a new smartphone

Minoush
By Minoush

Can anyone recommend a new phone that can be purchased in Doha?

It needs to have Android, email, internet,(all that good stuff) Good camera/video, but the most important thing is that it has an actual keyboard. (not virtual-touchscreen keyboard.

I have a BB Bold and I love it, but I need to get Skype and Viber to call and text family back home. BB can't do either one.

Thanks!

Thanks, I will check Samsung website. No Iphone, it doesn't have a keyboard.

From my knowledge, no BB has Skype ability.

I saw an ad for Mango..I will have to investigate.

Now, I will be going to Dubai in 2 months, should I buy in Doha or Dubai?

HTC, Samsung and LG are android mobiles and i'm sure they do have models with qwerty keyboards.
