I have a friend with a Sprint plan who would like to start exploring the world of smart phones. However, most of her phone use is in the car, and she wants to be able to use the phone without taking her eyes off the road.
In looking at the Sprint phones available at Best Buy, she was possibly interested in a non-Android phone, the LG Rumor Reflex because it seems to have physical keys available to pick up and hang up the phone. This is obviously not a smart phone, but it does make me wonder... What options exist for an Android phone that can be answered without having to look down, and hopefully also has an easy way to call last number dialed?
Is there an Android phone for Sprint with separate phone buttons? Is there a phone that allows setting of hardware buttons to emulate this functionality? Is there an app that could emulate this by taking over the buttons (without rooting)?
Any other ideas?
