I never left too. Still using my Nokia E72 business phone. I send and receive lots of text messages for my work, replying using full qwerty keyboard is a breeze. Plus one function i cant live without - "say caller name" when phone is ringing. You know whos calling you without looking at the device.

Device is about 15 years old, made in Finland, I have couple of spare ones in my drawer, swapping parts around normally brings it back to life when any problems (once a display went, once the keyboard, 20 minutes fix on the bench with no special tools needed).

I had the "say caller name" in Android 2.3.7 CyanogenMod 7, and I don't know why this wasn't widespread until a year or two ago. For me is really useful when I'm using it over Bluetooth.
