Fun device but I feel like we’ve most past the longing for physical keyboards.

There are literally 10's of us that still desire a physical keyboard on a phone.

The blackberry keytwo was the best phone I have ever owned but it is too outdated now to carry on using :(

I'd love to get a physical keyboard again. I'd happily give up some screen size for it too. Phones have gotten much too big.

A smaller screen would limit the phone, though. Would probably become a phone calls and texting only device since most apps wouldn't know what to do with the small screen and weird aspect ratio.

Ooh, would be an interesting concept to have a folding phone with a physical keyboard+smaller screen for the outer display, as opposed to making the outer screen a normally-sized phone screen

Sure, that wouldn't be a bad thing to try. Probably a lot of interesting ways to go about it. Good luck getting a company to try something cool, though.

Eh, I dunno.

I was pondering using the new Journal app on my iPhone, but would far prefer to type with a physical keyboard, so haven’t gotten around to it. Not saying that this particular board would change my mind, of course, but ultimately I do vastly prefer the tactile feel of a real board.

Hell, I’m typing this on my iPad using Universal Control from my Mac.
