Since you're interested in a W1, I'm assuming you want an inexpensive phone to try WP8. I've seen good deals on Nokia phones on Amazon.
Here's a 620 for $175. Great phone.

It seems you're looking for an off-contract phone with a physical QWERTY on a budget? Do you know what carrier you plan on using? The [Q10] (http://us.blackberry.com/smartphones/blackberry-q10.html?LID=us:bb:devices:blackberryq10&LPOS=us:bb:devices) is a great phone, but it will be pretty expensive (off-contract). You can try getting it's predecessor, the [Blackberry Bold 9900] (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=iphone+4+unlocked&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1311.R3.TR5.TRC1.A0.Xblackberry+bold+9900+unlocked&_nkw=blackberry+bold+9900+unlocked+new&_sacat=0), on eBay for around $200. While it doesn't offer the new BB OS, it has the touch screen with a top-notch physical QWERTY. It's still very much a smartphone.
If you're willing to forgo the physical QWERTY there are many options. If you're on a budget the Nexus 4 (Android) and [Nokia Lumia 820] (http://www.amazon.com/Nokia-820-Black-Factory-Unlocked/dp/B00AF6TPIC/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1372746283&sr=1-1&keywords=nokia+lumia+820) (Windows Phone 8) will both run about $300 off-contract. Both are really excellent and hardly feel like budget phones. If those are too expensive, the [Nokia Lumia 620] (http://www.amazon.com/Nokia-Lumia-620-Unlocked-Smartphone/dp/B00B9Q56WQ/ref=sr_1_4?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1372746356&sr=1-4&keywords=nokia+lumia+520) runs around $150-$200 without a contract. Windows Phone has THE best virtual keyboard (some might argue SwiftKey for Android has better predictive capabilities though). Other phones to consider in the budget category: Samsung Galaxy S3 and iPhone 4.
If you have some cash to burn, say $500 or so, or are willing to go on contract I can suggest: HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S4, iPhone 5, LG Optimus G Pro, Samsung Galaxy Note 2, Nokia Lumia 920 or Nokia Lumia 925, and Blackberry Z10. All the phones mentioned above are very worthy competitors.
If you're willing to wait it out a few months, Nokia, Samsung, and LG are expected to release new phones pretty soon. Nokia has a 41 megapixel PureView camera phone, Samsung the Galaxy Note 3, and LG the sequel to their very good Optimus G.
I would definitely suggest going to the store and getting some hands on time with any of these phones that interest you. Each platform has its strengths and its weaknesses, and I don't think anyone can tell you what will be exactly right for you. Happy phone hunting!
