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!

        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.
