In mine, the keys stopped working reliably, but it was still my favourite Android phone so far

I still have my lg v30! It's not my main phone, but I keep it on for apps and other stuff I don't want to put on my main phone, and the battery still lasts me a whole day with moderate use. And yeah, the last update it had was in 2019. Truly a great company. But for me, the G5 was the GOAT!

There's the FXtech Pro-1, with a slide out keyboard, apparently the hinge is very good.

But it's pretty ancient by now and there's still no successor... I doubt it sold well.

Try going a little slower. That always makes it more accurate for me.

I loved my N900. Think it would be doable right now with that thickness.

My 2001-era Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 PDA had the best slide out keyboard ever made, nothing has come close at all. A CF wifi card brought it so close to being a smart phone before there were smart phones.

I would buy it today as a phone if they'd just remake the original with an updated linux with QT equivalent option and updated screen hardware.

I use the Google keyboard at speed and it works great, while the iphone used in the same manner was completely impossible. Even the Google keyboard installed on the iphone was awful.

I'll try your tip and go slower. Maybe that will make a difference.

Patents should be abolished.

I disagree.

How's your experience using it? Do you keep it always on? And does the phone seem too big?

The one on the picture is actually a Keyone. It runs Android 8 which was just fine.

I'm very satisfied with mine. Some UI tweeks were required to adapt to the small screen.
