Android with a hardware QWERTY?

    Looking to get an Android phone with a hardware keyboard as opposed to an onscreen one.

    Really like the HTC hero but worried by the fact that anytime I've used a touchscreen I cant really get comfortable with it (chubby clumsy fingers!)

    HTC Dream/G1 is an option but cant seem to find that for sale anywhere sim free.

    Anyone know if there are any other options availalbe out there right now?

    Palm Pre, or Pixie - not sure if there is an Android with a hardware keyboard yet - Samsung will have one released in November, its a full landscape one, but it is a a bit cheaper feeling than the hero & bulky in the pocket - according to reviews...

    The G1 is the only one that's available now.

    Not Android.Palms run WebOS

    The G1 can be found unlocked on eBay usually(its where I got mine).
    The Motorola CLIQ/DEXT have a hardware qwerty too.Was released in the UK a couple weeks ago I think
    Cant think of any others that will
