My Palm Treo Pro is a Windows phone with a proper keypad and a touch screen that you can use with one hand.
Just to put the pic in
Horrible.

Windows OS on mobile is just plain awful. Even the HD2 which is a pretty awesome device can only just make it passable.

Maybe Windows 7 will change that but all previous versions are simply terrible when matched against Android/Iphone or even BB.
And yet my brother has more problems with his iphone, and my other half with his BB than I have with my nice simple Windows phone.
That really doesn't mean anything.

In fact dare I say it, it's not even worth mentioning.
So why bring up Windows running systems in the first place then? The OP wanted a phone with a proper keypad and a touch screen, the Palm Treo Pro has both of those things, which other phone would you suggest?

The reason why to mention Windows is because it's a truly god awful OS.

There's a reason MS decided to redesign the OS from the ground up.

Absolutely shocking.
