Now if only that were the case for phones. Blackberry keyboards were better than any shitty touch screen.

I'd have to disagree on that one

Having a choice would be a good start. It's either 'Solid black brick A' or 'Solid black brick B' in the smartphone world.

A big selling point for Android is that it isn't controlled by a single manufacturer (in contrast to Apple). Yet they all seemed to converge on the same design so the choices are quite limited.

Exactly. The blackberry keytwo was the best phone I ever owned and I miss that thing so damn much! I just want one competent keyboard based phone!

As is your prerogative to do so but as someone replying to you says just one competent keyboard option would be nice for those of use that hate typing on a touchscreen.
