I rocked a Samsung Alias 2 for 4 years before I got an iPhone 5. The e-ink keyboard was awesome how it changed when you flipped the screen open to portrait or landscape.

          If you didn’t text with a rotary phone you were a fucking noob: There, I said it.

            T9 would work on a rotary phone input. You would save a lot of of time. It would still take a lot of time.

      I really want one, I hate virtual keyboards so much. There’s the f(x)tec phones but their keyboards come out in landscape mode and I’d really rather have one where it’s portrait like the Palm Pre

        I got one of them tiny foldable bluetooth keyboards for anything longer than replies. Brings it with me everywhere, it’s super handy.

        Yet not as handy as a slide out keyboard.

      I never saw one where the keys were big enough that I didn’t mash everything around the target key with the size of my fingers, and I really don’t have big hands or anything.

        The size of the keys are not really the issue, the size of the spacing around them is.

        The BlackBerry Curve has my favorite keyboard, and I DO have big hands!

      I had an HTC Tilt back when the first iPhone was released. Aside from that phone running windows mobile (holy Christ, what a mess that was), I loved it so much. But then I finally joined the cult at the 3GS.

      Motorola DROID 4 was my dream phone. Alas, it was never released down here, so I could never buy one, even used.

      my first smart phone was a Motorola Droid that had a physical keyboard. Cameras have come a long way.
