I desperately yearn for them to come back, but because fucking apple never made them and won't ever make them, it'll remain a "niche" for "uncool" people

Hell, even typing on a tiny Xperia Mini was a better experience for me than typing on any stupid glass screen. I also have a Blackberry 9800, fucker looks amazing and typing on it is great. A real shame it's "useless" for communication for me, no whatsapp, telegram or anything to bridge with them, afaik.

There is this new phone called Minimal, which has a physical keyboard (but also an e-ink display).

Looks really interesting and something I'd want to give a try, my phone is only ever used for messaging and writing notes, but I don't think it'd work with local cell frequencies here (Brazil), plus that price is a bit beyond my range.

side note: half the site being literally just the logo zooming in is the antithesis to being minimal and... well, just imagine an angry person cursing design choices.

It is a bit expensive and odd looking, but there is this https://www.clicks.tech/

External keyboard case for the iphone 14, and they are planning more.

I'm acquainted with some of the people in this company, and they are as much believers in keyboard phones as the rest of us.
