    I'm pretty sure there is one in the prepaid section of vodafone store that has a qwerty - around $100. Othrwise have a look at www.mobileciti.com.au and http://www.uniquemobiles.com.au/

    just make sure it's got the right frequencies for what you want (voda 3g, gsm etc)

    HTC ChaCha Dick Smith (not available online)

    $129 dorras.
    http://dicksmith.com.au/product/EM5000/vodafone-htc-cha-cha-...

    The good:

    It's cheap.
    800mhz CPU with 512mb RAM
    Solid design

    The Bad

    Battery life is average
    Poorish camera
    Screen is small

    I'd recommend the HTZ Desire Z over the ChaCha, but it looks it's an end of life item.

    Is Blackberry possibly an option for you? Makes for very cheap internet.

        Also take a look at the Sony Ericcson Xperia Pro MK16i

        Price ranges from $229 to $299

        It has a slide-out landscape QWERTY (good for fat fingers) and a 3.7 inch screen. Also performance wise better than the ChaCha and has a 8 megapixel shooter.

      Some people prefer the click-clack of physical keyboards (thumb boards?). I quite miss my old Nokia E71's keyboard, even thouogh the Galaxy S2 comes with built in swype.
