i'm want! a phone with a slidey keyboard! or a phone case to add a slidey keyboard to an existing phone!
@Fidgetcetera rip palm pre... one of the best phones ive ever had...
@tom @Fidgetcetera https://www.engadget.com/2017/08/30/tcl-reportedly-reviving-palm-new-devices-2018/ Palm Pre..................2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@tom @Fidgetcetera personally I want an HP veer more tho. litl tiny
@masklayer @tom whatever i get i just... need an actual smartphone still lol
@masklayer @Fidgetcetera the veer is so cute... I just have strong nostalgia for the original Pre
@tom @Fidgetcetera I don't get vertical sliders though (priv seemed weird to me for same reason)
disclaimer: keyone owner
@calvin @Fidgetcetera I prefer them over horizontal sliders tbh... They're easier to type on imho. Especially with how large phones can get nowadays. I couldn't imagine typing on my note 8 in landscape hahah
@tom @Fidgetcetera the last keyboard phone I had was the N900 which was a landscape slider - there's more room for buttons and the keys are larger; plus it was more ergonomic for terminal things
it seems landscape sliders were for children and gadget nerds though, and portrait keyboard candybars/sliders were for Real Shit™
@calvin oh and re: blackberry;
I was actually really into the priv when they announced it but the price and the fact that it's supposedly unrootable kinda turned me off :/ it's a shame, really, because otherwise it would've been everything I want in a phone
@Fidgetcetera i know my mom used to have one until it just kinda started not working in general
my current phone is just a blackberry-shaped feature phone
