    I follow Michael Fisher on YouTube and he was talking about this in one of his recent videos, soccer I guess he’s a co-creator. “Add a physical keyboard to your mobile device”, kinda idea.

    Edit: Turns out that’s a different thing, nevermind. Also, I did just notice the typo above, “soccer I guess” - which makes the following kind of ironic lol

    I’m curious… is anyone here actually interested in buying this thing? I had a couple of "smart"phones in the beforetimes, like the Nokia E71, and I really don’t miss the physical keyboard. It always felt like a lot of different points of failure just waiting to happen. Am I alone in that?

      I want one.

      This is the second phone with keyboard announced this year.

      On screen keyboards with autoincorrect are fucking awful. I despise them.

      Edit: On my Treo I could assign anything I wanted to key combos, like on a desktop. So the calendar button could launch 2 or 3 other things depending in the modifier I held (Ctrl/shift, etc). It had 4 dedicated buttons: Calendar, email, messaging and one other. You know, the things I switch through a million times a day. Way faster than “Go Home, find icon, etc” (which I don’t use anyway because it’s fucking awful design).

      Yeah, a semi-smart phone with a keyboard is very tempting for me. Seems that most people want to use their phone as a giant scroll machine, but that has little appeal to me.
