      I was mildly interested until I saw “designed for creators”. Seems like a meaningless marketing term that gets added to everything these days.

    Anyway, I’d rather have such keyboard in landscape. Although it would be better if it was a slide-out keyboard, I wouldn’t mind a thick phone. Maybe you could then even add USB-A, HDMI, and a headphone jack to it.

    These existed shortly after the iPhone came out under the presumption people would miss the physical keys from blackberries. They didn’t sell well back then I don’t think they will now.

      Personally I wouldn’t mind having a phone with modern cababilities and Nokia Communicator / E7 type keyboard.

        I still don’t understand why PDAs are no longer a thing. Make a phone a bit thicker, add ports, thumb keyboard… I remember being able to SSH to servers from my Zaurus and actually do things using the hardware keyboard. Or SSH to my n900 and install packages there. With android I just lost the interest. It doesn’t feel like a personal computer anymore.
