9790 was tiny and durable.

  And that phone came out around the same time as the iPhone 4S which was almost the same size, well over double the resolution, and ~30g heavier. By that point form factor didn’t really matter. Capabilities did and that screen sucked, web browsing on BB sucked compared to iPhone, and apps were way better (in some cases no equivalent existed on BB) on iPhone. I was specifically talking about devices that came before the iPhone and how the iPhone was marked improvement over them. However comparing phones that launched at the same time as the 9790 still show the iPhone being far superior unless you weight the physical keyboard much higher than other features.

    Your statements are corect, but my conclusion is that people weight a giant screen as much that there is even no market for someone who weights the physical keyboard. I remember keyboard smartphones from 00's and it became unexpected for me at that time that we are heading into the no-button future. How did that happened? Can I at least run Telegram, Viber, WhatsApp on ARM device with SIM-card and a physical keyboard which is not an ARM-laptop?
