Best Tactile Keypad and Layout

[Tom S]

Hi,
In my quest to replace my 22c with a mainstream phone, I have boiled 
my needs down to two issues, i.i.e.. large keypad and text message 
ringtone changeability.
Someone on one of the phone lists I am on was lamenting how her new 
phone will not allow her to assign ringtones to events as well as her 
old 6682 did and this scares me.  I guess I just assumed newer phones 
would all allow assigning of different ringtones to incoming callers 
and text messages and alerts.
Secondly, keypad layout and feel are important to me but the nearest 
gsm store is sixty miles from me for hands on evaluations, and they 
wouldn't carry any of the still available older phones .  The 
22c  has such a very well designed keypad layout and feel I am 
concerned about texting on a mainstream phone and want to focus on 
the keypad.  For those of you on this list who have played with many 
different cell phones, is  there a clear standout for tactile feel 
and accessibility of the keypad, or are there a few good choices and 
if so which ones standout.
Thanks,
To		m
