I'll care when they're Dvorak phones /s

The Titan 2 Elite seems to be a less gimmicky version of the Titan 2

They just had to announce it after I ordered the one with all the "bizarre" gimmicks.

Yes, please!

The Titan 2 Elite looks awesome though it appears to be just a render right now. I was looking at the original Titan a while back but it was pretty dated even then. Gonna keep an eye out for the Elite.

The phone will come powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor, have 12GB of RAM, and 512GB of internal storage. There is no word on the display or the battery, but going by the previous release, it should be an AMOLED screen, and the battery should be 5,000mAh. Neither is there any word about the release timeline, pricing, or other features of the device right now. The sole official render of the phone suggests a sleeker-looking body, erringly similar to the Clicks Communicator.

I was a huge 'tactical keyboard on phone' kinda guy. Then I got acclimated to Swype. I don't think I could ever go back but think choice is good.

Hell yes - as long as it still fits in my pocket. That was a prolem with some of the later Blackberry models.

Yeah this is something I need since my fingers don’t always register on touch screens.

Im personally typing this from my clicks for pixel :3

I actually have a usecase for virtual keyboards - being able to easily change the layout on-the-fly (which is obviously impossible with a physical one)

People should look into the ikko mind one too. Its shit that they have so much emphasis on their "AI OS" which is just an integrated app (which can be requested to be removed before delivery or removed via adb). But the hardware looks solid.

Its a square screen phone that you can get a keyboard case for that includes a hifi dac. Its camera is a big sony sensor that can flip over to the front so they didn't need to split the camera money between two or more sensors.

Hopefully firefox and the like will start putting spellcheck in their mobile applications again. I got mad at auto correct because it was worse than my spelling (at least you can guess what I meant - auto correct often changed to the wrong word: you wouldn't think to I might mean something else). I also often use a bluetooth keyboard, again spell check is needed.

The blackberry priv was the perfect phone form factor I just want that but with better hardware inside

I'm so for this -- The stagnation in the smartphone industry has left me hungry, and a month ago I bought a nice flip phone, which I've been using for the last month. I would totally buy something like this too!

the Voyager and enV style phones with the touchscreen in front and flip to open to qwerty keyboard really gave the best of the worlds

I'd love to jump on this, and probably will when/if I can afford to.

I'm intrigued by the Titan 2 Elite. Never owned a Blackberry myself (or never used one as my main rather) and I do type a lot on my phone so it would be an interesting experience to try the Titan. Looks quite nice as well.

I heard that Unihertz isn't exactly the best at supporting their phones, though, and I'm not a big fan of Mediatek either. The Communicator looks good, too, but I'd rather go with a brand that has a history of making phones, rather than cases.

Do software keyboards not use the QWERTY layout? Why are we calling hardware keyboards on a phone a QWERTY phone?!

Dvorak phone when? Preferably with compose key in place of caps lock, but it's not vital.

And for fucks sake, give us an ISO option. I'm not claiming one is superior over the other, but most of the world have used ISO their entire lives and absolutely detest ANSI.
