      Yes. Unihertz have a couple I’m aware of but their software is dog shit, fx tec pro is out dated and over priced. The blackberry keytwo was the absolute best phone I have ever owned but that is now too old for security updates too so really isnt the best thing to have as your main phone.

      Would be happy to hear of some others I may have missed. I backed the planet computers astro slide on indiegogo and they only delivered around 2000 units before stealing everyone elses money. Fucking cunts they are.

        Maybe a phone with a clicks case? I’ve been contemplating getting one for my iPhone, but I think it will be way too top heavy. They’ve also now done one for the moto razr series foldables, those lend themselves a bit better for the extra length of a keyboard

          Looks interesting, thanks for replying, I hadn’t heard about this. I wonder how it compares to a blackberry keyboard to actually use. A bit too expensive for me as I would have to buy a new phone and all the options currently available are quite expensive phones but I’m definitely going to keep this on my radar and maybe try and get one to try when I can get a second hand pixel 9 for a good price maybe.

            Yeah that’s keeping me from it as well. And maybe the fact that I use a keychron at work that I can just connect via bt to my phone for some lengthier chats

              There is also this “Fairberry” project that is basically building the same thing but with a blackberry keyboard that I have had saved for years now I just don’t really feel confident with being able to put it together myself and also don’t have access to a 3d printer to make the case part or the skills to modify it for my phone.

              I have wanted to look into getting someone to make it for me but when the cost of materials and then paying someone to construct it is going to start costing a similar amount to what I paid for the phone it becomes harder to justify.
