I’d like for there to be phones with keyboards available for the people who want them though, even if I personally share your opinion. I feel like the overall array of smartphones are all very bland and samey, and I wish that the people with weird, idiosyncratic preferences could live their best life.
I feel like we’ve already been going backwards on smartphones: Bring back replaceable batteries, keyboards, headphone ports, and IR blasters!
Nah, keyboards can suck it. Touch keyboards work well enough and aren’t bulky.
You can’t use swipe typing on a physical keyboard 👎
Actually, a while back, BlackBerry unveiled a phone with a physical keyboard that was also a capacitive touch sensor so you could swipe type on it. Idk how well it worked though.
I don’t use swipe typing on a capacitive screen so nothing’s lost anyway

This has been brewing in my mind for a while
But I really want a like Phone ds hybrid
So I can do some decent gaming in it but it’s also small and a phone with a cool stylus so I can play pictocross or sudoku easier
*I recently homebrewed a ds and I found after a month I started only using it for that
Gonna go ahead and disagree with you there: Being able to type without looking is fucking great!
That depends on how good you are on touch keyboards. I can type pretty well without looking.
Replaceable batteries are coming to the EU in 2027.
