- add-sub-mul-div 2y agoMy Treo with a physical keyboard was the last mobile device I had that typing wasn't a chore with. Touch screen primacy has turned mobile devices from content creation to content consumption devices.
- Reason077 2y agoIf physical keys were the way to go in smartphones, we’d all still be using BlackBerrys. If it’s a dumbphone you want, there’s plenty of models available with physical keys.

- surgical_fire 2y agoI actually liked BlackBerry quite a lot. Was a bit sad that the touchscreen model became ubiquitous.
- frde_me 2y agoI disagree with this. The touchscreen on my phone allows for so much versatile applications than is possible with physical buttons. I really don't miss the days where applications had to retrofit their controls onto a fixed physical setting. Sure, maybe for dialling a phone number or texting it was better. But for everything else I do on a phone, give me a touchscreen.
