BlackBerry's iconic keyboard patent has expired
-
I guess I mean the method, not the specific app. Most keyboards have implemented some form of it and they all seem to work kinda the same.
-
Remembering the BlackBerry keyboard leads me to remembering the Palm Pre, which had so much potential. In many ways, still my favorite phone ever. It's sad to see WebOS reduced to Smart TV shit.
-
I can't even use the keyboard properly without haptic feedback.

Start with swiping not too fast and keep track on prediction bar, you often don’t have to swipe the whole word. You can take breaks mid-swipe, no problem.
-
It's why somebody make this. They too were missing the keyboard

Wow really I never saw that before, sounds crazy.

Oh the sweetest raspberry, mother of jam, What is this abomination?
-
I got an LG largely because the options were WebOS or shitty proprietary OS.
And yeah, LG haven't been kind to it.

Looong loooooong maaaaaaaaaaaan

Urgh split keyboards are the worst. Better to have everything in one higher up central position with easy access to entry ports for finer fingering.
-
They've had it good too long!

I fucking love haptic feedback. They suck only when the system used is a motor with that circular half-weight thingy. The linear oscillating weight ones are amazing.
-
I like it if it's really really subtle. Basically the minimum length vibration, which is 2ms on heliboard.
Anything longer, I find annoying.

Boomers and normies appear to love it.

Concentrated power of will.

Best keyboard I ever had was a Motorola Q. The phone itself was mediocre, but great keyboard.
-
It looks so flimsy. The size of the keyboard compared to the screen feels like it would be nearly impossible to type on it with the thumbs comfortably and without the phone falling out of your hand.
Edit: Oh no, I just noticed that's a case. Than makes it even worse. I would not trust that thing to hold my phone in place.

It was such an innovative Mobile UI for its time, and the physical slide-out keyboard of the Pre, was a really satisfying typing experience. These days, people take for granted that they can dismiss an app by simply "flicking" it up and off the screen on your mobile phone, but that whole visual metaphor and activity came from WebOS. It felt like the first true multi-tasking mobile phone. shucks I miss it.
