I had a HTC Desire Z, and I believe there were a few more models with a full QWERTY keyboard after that. I found it pretty hard to type on (I had a Nokia E61 before which somehow seemed easier), yet more than once when on call I SSHed into production to resolve issues directly from the phone :D Part of the issue then was touchscreens were still pretty bad in terms of accuracy and sensitivity, and screens were small, so if you wanted to type something fast you needed a physical keyboard. Today I feel like I could do the same with any 6" phone with the on-screen keyboard.
