BlackBerry's iconic keyboard patent has expired
-
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.
-
I remember this. Was it a kickstarter?
-
So changeable keys on a touchscreen, but with physical buttons on top. Sign me up!
-
I had a phone with a physical keyboard that small. Surprisingly easy to work with.
-
My Palm Pre people. I loved that phone. It was under powered, buggy, and felt like the future.
-
Blackberry's design patents have expired as well. So you can go nuts.
-
Oooh I might look into that once my 3310 dies
-
Yes like a shitty car infotainment touchscreen from 2008.
-
The LG Env2 would have been the perfect smartphone form factor, change my view.
-
I had the Motorola droid, it was pretty sweet
-
I need this to be a slider.
-
What keyboard do you use? They are not all the same
-
Oooooh guuurlll!
-
Un popular opinion when I had to support those damn things I actually hated the keyboards, always felt the keys where too small
