If this had a 4g module and possibility to install messaging apps, il dump my smartphone for this one without blinking. My phone is basically a chat machine, but I miss so much those blackberry keyboards with physical keys...
There was a flip out physical keyboard phone called the fxtech pro 1 that was broadly liked by reviewers. I wonder if they ever made new models
E: nope
Same as the Unihertz Titan. I ran with that for two years and it was decent, if underpowered.
The dream is all but dead for all fourteen and a half of us QWERTY phone enthusiasts I think. A surprising number went to the Samsung Galaxy Flip models, though having used this for two years or so, I wouldn't recommend it either.
Maybe one day...
I too ran a unihertz titan for a few years, massive beast of a thing but I love a keyboard. Before that I had the blackberry keytwo which was my favourite phone of all time.
I backed the planet computers astroslide before they took everyone's money and ran after delivering a fraction of the units promised and what was delivered was woefully out of date due to their ineptitude.
I still dream of a blackberry key three, but alas my dreams will never be fulfilled and I'm trapped on a shitty touch screen :'(
