I sent you the wrong one. I can remember from many years ago, Mad Catz used to have this smartphone bluetooth keyboard, all metallic, about $60. I no longer remember the name of it. Now, you have options like these, it looks good to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqP5AK6lFEg
Still the same problem. There are lots of small wireless keyboards, you can probably get one like that for $10 (you could 10 years ago). Still can’t use it in a pinch without a decent surface.
A had a few keyboards…
Compare to this, this or this which you just hold in the hand like a normal phone.
Yes, it looks truly crap tho. I hear there’s some issue regarding BlackBerry patents, but a 3-row keyboard is pretty worthless. Combined with all its other issues, it wasn’t enough even for me to get interested.
Speaking of which, fuck dead companies keeping patents.
We are entering in an age of post-western-capitalism, where this IP trolling system will die down considerably. Until then, Aliexpress noname basement engineers are your friend.
Blackberry these days works in cybersecurity field and sells a very shitty cloud antivirus Cylance. Most experienced AV users meme it as something that flags everything as malware to look good.
Fun fact, there was a qwerty keypad phone in India sold not long ago, running KaiOS. Ultra cheap too, like under $30 range I think, but exclusive to one cell provider and not exported.
It looked good. Shows that it’s doable. I don’t understand why don’t those noname basement dwellers cobble up something like it. There’s hundreds of phone models made every year and the Chinese companies of all kinds are able to make or copy anything. Super easy sell if you ask me, in the market where it’s h hard to stand out.
If they are not making it, you can assume how niche it has gotten. There used to be a Nokia XpressMusic phone with slider keyboard from the Symbian era that I liked a lot back then.

That just looks like a normal wireless keyboard, not something you can use while standing in a bus tho.

You are not going to get it anywhere except Unihertz (and some noname Chinese phones) that makes such quirky phones. They do have a keyboard model.
