have you looked at Samsung. They have a quiet interesting range from
hand phones to tablets. I do not know the size up to which they can be
used as hand phones but some pretty large models have this function
built-in.

My daughter has one I would still call a hand phone. She is very happy
with it. 

The keyboard has to be an external one in all cases. I do not know it
this works on all models.
