I would be on that. Swype, auto correct, etc are really just band-aids to the problem of no physical keyboard.

Give me a modern smart phone, but make it a flip or something and the second half is a physical QWERTY keyboard.

It would at least be better than 100 percent of our new phones surface area is a touch-screen display!

Side effect: if kids get used to holding phones horizontally we might finally kill portrait videos

Because tactile feedback will always be superior to none.

ive had a smartphone for like 8 or 9 years at this point and i still have a hard time typing on a touch screen. i bought one of those giant note phones thinking it would make it easier to type on and nope, still difficult. it makes me feel like an old man

Eh, I'm okay with Swype tbh. Going back to a mechanical keyboard doesn't sound enticing

Phones arent for productivity. Id rather lose a keyboard thats wasted on a phone if it means more screen

Also, 3D vibration or whatever its called in the switch already exists so its only a matter of time until phones have a form of tactile feeeback

I'd loooove if my note 9 had a slide out keyboard like those old blackberrys, I thought they were so cool and I still do.

Physical keyboard has a lot of benefits. Easier to use accurately, won't screw up because of random screen lag, could double as a controller for games, etc.

Touch screen technology has always felt inferior to physical stuff imo. Give me a mouse and a physical keyboard every single time.

I know phones are basically small computers these days but they're not supposed to be computers.

Aside from the processing power and tiny screen, the best phone I ever owned was the LG Rumor 2. It had a slide-out keyboard and it was perfect.
