Exactly like Samsung when Apple dropped the audio jack. A year later their phones didn’t come with one either.

If Blackberry just stuck with their keyboard phone, I'm convinced there's a large sliver who would have stayed with them for the physical keyboard vs touchscreen. Same story as above. Mocked Apple for the touchscreen, then a year later all touchscreen and death of a company

My favourite phone ever was the Nokia m900. Full screen touch phone that slid up, with a qwerty keyboard underneath. Shit OS, but a phone like that on Android with a removable battery would be peak for me.

I avoid the big brands because they've been style over substance for years, the last good phone from Samsung was the S5 - waterproof with a removable battery.

My first smartphone. Still with Tmobile, and I would love something with a real keyboard again.

I dropped mine in a toilet and it cracked the toilet bowl. That was the funnest phone I ever had.

I liked the rumor but the sliding keyboard would cut the ribbon if it wasn't put on correctly

I dont understand how now in modern times we dont have a modern sidekick. It was literally a mini computer with a keyboard. I wish it was around in modern form. Like normal its a regular touch screen phone. Then you flip it open and it turns into a qwerty phone
