There have been a bunch of other phones and devices using that style of keyboard. I used a Nokia E63 for years. Were they under license? What about the one Lilygo sells now? Maybe whoever manages RIM's portfolio just stopped caring. Anyway this is kind of interesting. I always liked that keyboard.

Lilygo uses old stock bb keyboards, I think. Looks exactly like the one an employer had me carry.
Meshtastic phoneless devices with BB keyboards, let's goooooo!
(The T-deck is kind of this, but mooooore).
I used a Q10 as my first phone and I miss the keyboard so much, hopefully someone does something cool now ;)
Any takers? Any?
Un popular opinion when I had to support those damn things I actually hated the keyboards, always felt the keys where too small
What is this? A keyboard for ants?!?
