I'd be first in line to buy a smartphone with a physical keyboard if a company was selling one which wasn't a Kickstarter or hobby project.

- apexalpha 10mo agoSure, just like that famous small screen phone everyone wants but then no one actually buys.
- mrguyorama 10mo agoI used flagship keyboard smartphones as long as they were offered. I literally voted with my wallet. The idea that, because we aren't willing to pay $700 for a garbage tier "smartphone" with spotty support and basement level specs is somehow evidence that we don't actually want keyboards on our phones is bad faith. Before smartphones I was buying feature phones with full keyboards too, including things like the Samsung Alias 2. Meanwhile, folding phones, despite being a niche, are getting real attention by manufacturers, because it's a "new" gimmick and can drive sales.
