If this had a 4g module and possibility to install messaging apps, il dump my smartphone for this one without blinking. My phone is basically a chat machine, but I miss so much those blackberry keyboards with physical keys...

There was a flip out physical keyboard phone called the fxtech pro 1 that was broadly liked by reviewers. I wonder if they ever made new models

E: nope

So I actually bought the f(x)tech Pro^1x thinking that it was going to be great having a physical keyboard that slides out again. But I found that I rarely actually used it. Using it required that the screen be in landscape mode. I'm actually much happier just using a different touch keyboard layout. I use Thumb-Key specifically now. It took some time to retrain my brain but I quite enjoy it.
