I find the Samsung Galaxy Pro to be a decent messaging phone.
Pros:
Nice looking phone
Light
One of the few android phones with the external keyboard
Has touch screen
Pretty responsive.
Okay:
Keyboard is fine to type with.
Although light, it takes a few days to get used to the plastic feel.
Battery life can get you through a day for an average user
3 mp camera but no flash.
Cons:
Screen resolution not the best
No multitouch but you can double tab zoom.
Price a tad high - under $200 would be more reasonable.
Overall:
