BlackBerry's iconic keyboard patent has expired
-
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
-
I can't find any mention of it being on Kickstarter, but here's an early promo for it:

My friend in high school had every palm pre, those things were awesome
-
You need to adjust your patterns to it, but when you do, oh boy is it convenient. I still can type on it blindly almost as quick as I do with full desktop keyboard, and I'm pretty quick with that

Surely you mean the slider style of the Xperia X1 and not the more common folding style of the LG
-
What is this? A keyboard for ants?!?
-
I absolutely loved my passport. It was smooth, and it was a pleasure to use. the keyboard was amazing. At the time with bb10 os, it could do things android and apple could only dream of. Too bad they shit the bed with damn antenna desoldering it's self.
-
I use a FOSS (ish) keyboard and it's not very accurate, but all still way better than typing everything.
-
I still keep it around. It doesn't work, but it is such a nice object. That was my favourite phone. I miss interesting phones
-
I really enjoyed my Sidekick from TMo. Great device to play Google roulette back when feature phones were king.
But the dual slide on the Helio Ocean was pretty dope too. The screen was just too small for most people to care.
-
That sounds pretty rad. I'm almost 40 and haven't ever seen this either. Perhaps it was just the coke addicted business tycoons of the 1980s and '90s that got to experience this tech.
-
I still have mine too, and really for the same reason. It is such a great design, and the aesthetic of a water-smoothed river stone was really cohesive. The Pre was all smooth lines and soft curves. Just gorgeous.
-
Even after they stopped producing phones, they could have made a killing licensing the patent to phone case manufacturers.
