Smartphone Form Factor

I’ve always found typing on a phone difficult. If only there was a company making phones with QWERTY keyboards as well as all the other stuff you get with a modern smartphone.

Blackberry are still churning out android phones with physical keyboards.

I think that your best bet is to find a QWERTY case for an existing phone. iOS and Android both have Bluetooth keyboard support.

I miss real keyboards as well. Unfortunately, for the most part, they went the way of the dodo.

Brings back fond memories of of Nokia E71, which I still have but do not use of course.

lol indeed - I’ve got one of these. I can hold it next to the receiver and it will still miss half my keystrokes!

I liked that phone. Perhaps one of the best features was that you could press a key and it would read the SMS message out to you

Aw - that truly was the pinnacle of the pre touch smart phones. It’s like a Mercedes Benz SL of the seventies today - a lovely youngtimer. So much metal in this construction when everything else was plastic. The 72 and 73 were built from more and more plastic. It’s a bit bizarre to be so fond of a mobile phone product design, but this was bliss.
