    Fun device but I feel like we’ve most past the longing for physical keyboards.

      Yep, corporations denied us this feature long enough that most of us gave up and stopped trying. Sometimes I wish I was just another mindless consumer loving everything that’s new and shiny instead of liking actually useful things…

      There are literally 10’s of us that still desire a physical keyboard on a phone.

      The blackberry keytwo was the best phone I have ever owned but it is too outdated now to carry on using :(

      Eh, I dunno.

      I was pondering using the new Journal app on my iPhone, but would far prefer to type with a physical keyboard, so haven’t gotten around to it. Not saying that this particular board would change my mind, of course, but ultimately I do vastly prefer the tactile feel of a real board.

      Hell, I’m typing this on my iPad using Universal Control from my Mac.

      I’d love to get a physical keyboard again. I’d happily give up some screen size for it too. Phones have gotten much too big.

      A smaller screen would limit the phone, though. Would probably become a phone calls and texting only device since most apps wouldn’t know what to do with the small screen and weird aspect ratio.
