Q. an up to date touch screen w/ optional keyboard text.
are there any phones out there like this anymore? are they all 100% touch screen now?
i say android because im with T.Mobile. can android phones be jailbroken like iphones so I can be able to down apps for free?
an android phone I can slip my sim card and and start using right away w/o paying for internet
A. Ok... So... To the first question:
a) About the keyboard in latest phones.... Well that is definitely a tough one! But there are still a few options available. These are some of them that are relatively up to date... ( I interpreted an up to date phone (android) as one that is running on android Ice cream sandwich 4.0.x or higher with a fair hardware power) :
- Samsung Galaxy Chat B5330:

second:
b) Yes, android phones can be ROOTED (root = jailbreak for android, to make it simple), BUT you don't need to root your phone in order to be able to download *free* apps ( *cough google search for "alternatives to google play store" cough *).
third:
You won't be able to use data connection in a phone if you are not paying for that service to some carrier.
In order to be able to use any SIM card in your phone ( from different carriers) your phone has to be carrier unlocked, means that you did not buy it subsidized by any carrier via a contract. If your phone is carrier locked, you can still root it to unlock it or sometimes the carriers will let you pay some fee for them to unlock it via IMEI .
Hope this was helpfull! sorry if I didn't explain myself vastly but I'm in a hurry hehe! Good luck finding your phone!

Q. When I receive a new message on my Galaxy S3, it only shows the little message icon on my lock screen, but it doesn't tell me who sent me the message. Is there way to change it so that I can see who sent me the new message without having to unlock my phone and go into my inbox?
