Android phone with physical keyboard in UK

[steve wilson]

Hi guys,
I'm looking for an andriod phone with a physical qwerty keyboard in the UK. I had a G1 and loved it, but not been able to find another one since then. All the good phones with physical keyboards don't seem to come over here.

My contract runs out in May and if I can't get a phone with a physical keyboard, please can you recommend a good one or let me know if something like the Samsung Galaxy 3 is coming out soon?

Also has anyone had any experience importing a phone from the USA...if so which site did you buy from and was it easy enough to get a UK sim card in it or do you have root it or something to get it to work?

Samsung captivate glide and motorola droid 3 have physical keyboards, but i doubt you'd be able to unlock the droid since motorola usually locks their bootloaders. The captivate glide should be easy to unlock once its rooted. You can find these phones on ebay.
