Does anyone here have a Kyocera Rise? Can you answer a few questions?

So I'm looking to get a phone for my wife, and she is fond of her physical keyboard. She just has a feature phone right now, so even the Rise would be a step up.

I'm just wondering if it has any flaws that would turn even a new smartphone user off.

Spec wise its pretty close to my Nexus S, but it looks like it has a crappy display.

I'd prefer she just get the Photon Q, but $20 vs $200 is a pretty compelling reason. So, is this $20 I'm going to regret?

How is day to day use? How well has the keyboard fared so far? Do you like it?
