This is one of the best phones I ever owned. You could type nearly as fast on it as a traditional keyboard. It even had a scroll ball as well to act like a mouse. The things I would do for Google to implement something like this in a modern Pixel phone. I hate even trying to respond to people these days from my phone, because of how just how bad touch keyboards are in comparison.

I used to have a Blackberry Key One, and it was amazing, the ability to use modern android with a physical keyboard, it was even backlit also supported swype typing, but sadly I lost the phone one day on a walk, it was nice while it lasted. . .

I'm thinking I might just get one of those external bluetooth keyboards. Writing stuff while on the train or bus sucks on a touchpad.

    definitely interesting . . I bought the Key One for $300 back in 2021. I'll keep it bookmarked in case future me sees the desire for that design again, because right now I just don't use my phone much haha
