So Im buying my first smart phone

[pimpin aint easy]

I only have two options and im leaning towards the latter but would you get

The Kyrocera Event which is just a touch screen chocolate bar that runs on Android Ice cream sandwich

Or the
Kyrocera Rise which is like the first but has a QWERTY keyboarded

[Syvelocin]

I've never seen the use of separate keyboards, but apparently someone likes them or they wouldn't be a feature. If I had one, I probably wouldn't use it. Depends on your preference.
