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!
Does all android phone support BBM?
Q. i got Samsung Galaxy Chat B5330, android ver. 4.1.2 (jelly bean).. when i went to bbm.com (which directly go to google play store) the app said "not compatible with your phone"... is it really true that BBM for android doesn't working on some (lame?) devices? if that's true, then i'm very SAAAD because it is not an universal app after all ;_;
A. Hell it doesn't even show on my play store when I search for it. This is very sad; or maybe it hasn't been launched in my country yet? I'm from South Africa... oh and I use a galaxy pocket 4.0.4(ICS) maybe that's why... when I checked the BBM site they said you have to have NFC on your phone, maybe that is why... well time to sideload it. There must be someone out there who posted the APK on some random website :D
