Let’s all close our eyes and go back to 2009 so we can feel the thrill of typing our first email on the go.
Ok, so i am typing this on my blackberry key2 which is getting 7 years old.
Please give use a hardware keyboard phone. The only option i see is the unihertz titan slim, which has about the same power as the key2…
Please!
Dope. For you, the softkeyboard era might never begin.
Wait, wasn’t there an option for a keyboard on FairPhone? Uhh, looks like just an addon.
Yeah there is at the moment only unihertz with android11 Or a kickstarter is coming this/next month, mecha comet. But its a mobile linux pc, which has somehow the form factor of a mobile…
I will stick with a hardware keyboard phone for my life… I am old, and i am grumpy :)

I have a PinePhone, which is that. It kind of feels redundant with the desktop I already have, TBH, and can’t do things like use local mobile carriers.
Keyboards exist. And computers with built-in keyboards. And phones. And phones with buttons on them. And mobile computers with keyboards on them. Keyboard on a phone? Totally new invention, let’s patent it.
I mean, people did think it was impossible before that. The idea that you can type with thumbs instead of hands was novel.
My friend had a phone that turned landscape to use a built-in kbd in 2005 or so. I couldn’t understand the appeal at the time. But I also didn’t buy into sms before having a qwerty kbd on the first iPhone, so what did I know.
Nokia N900?
