Yeah, but that's not neatly as portable as the old Crackberries that had slide-out keyboards.

Oh I feel you. I loved them too. The only reason why I had to switch (back when a physical keyboard was still kind of an option) was because I started to type in cyrillic too, and - especially as a newbie who isn't familiar with the keyboard's layout - a digital one was much easier to use. But I still hate that feeling of typing on my screen.

Am not convinced there are many who honestly enjoy typing on screen. It's never great, just passable.

Definitely. I think the only people that like them are the people designing the phones, because they don't have to worry about smaller/lighter/more durable keyboards.

I had to give up my final phone with a physical keyboard because some of the keys stopped working, and there was no way to get an identical replacement anymore.

I so wanted Blackberry Key3 to come out and was holding out for that one, then they canceled their phone production entirely. Old Blackberry Passport was such a good design for my use case. Sadly outdated software meant I was unable to use it as my daily driver.
