We're into 2 generations of people now that have been raised on touchscreens. It's a guaranteed flop.
If people are going to be sold on bulkier devices, it will be for functionality other than a keyboard.
Besides, bluetooth keyboard cases are already a thing if you want to trade bulk for easier typing.

- post_below 8y agoYou're going to give up something, whether it's bulk, water/dust proofing, or other specs. Or in the case of this device, all of the above and more compared to flagship phones. I have no particular love for touchscreen keyboards (though I find that I can type just as well on them as I once did on my droid's physical keyboard). I'm thinking about the mass western market, which isn't going to want to make the tradeoffs this phone offers. Possibly that isn't the market they want, but rather a low volume niche.
