Why are there no new flagship phones with keyboards?
Almost every time I see someone with a smartphone they are texting. So wouldn't those phones be popular? Isn't there a demand for them?
>tfw no N950
I honestly prefer the touchscreen of my moto g to the keyboard on my samsung chat
I'm using my n900 until my OPO comes in the post, I'm really going to miss my hardware keyboard ;_;
MUH THIN

I should have specified it but I am not talking about these kind of keyboards. I find them personally too small to type on comfortably and I too prefer touchscreen keyboards to them. Also I don't like how they limit the screen size. I am talking about keyboards like these.
When you can already reach 60+wpm on a touchscreen it's not worth the compromise phones need to make to include a touch keyboard.

cool cool

That thing looks awkward as fuck for taking pictures with.

I am aware of the jolla keyboard which is why I said flagship. The jolla has outdated specs.
>>46928242
Why does that white-board eraser have a screen?
>>46928247
>tfw I still have that phone.
I really need to let myself get a new one, but I don't call people anyway, just receive.

Is the keyboard as pleasant to type on as it looks?

whole so-thin-it-fits-hipster's-tight-jeans-pocket is taking everything useful away.

Absolutely, but as far using that model in this day and age it's not even remotely worth it to put up with the bullshit of gen 1 android hardware (and ROMS).
Made emulators preddy gud as well as the odd occasion i SSH'd into somewhere, significantly less akward with a keyboard.

>using a "business" phone to take faggot pictures
>>46928415
What should I get instead then?
>>46928450
I don't know, a camera perhaps?
I think the digit keys with t9 was faster than those tiny ass keyboards.

Nice try anon
I can't swype on that..
No need for it.
Once you get used to typing on touchscreen it's as fast as typing on a tiny hw keyboard.

JuiceSSH makes using SSH with touch keyboard a breeze.

Perhaps but a touchscreen keyboard is always covering a part of the screen. It would be nice to be able to type while also being able to use the whole screen.

And look like this when taking selfies? No thanks.

>>46928925
All women are mentally ill? Men with cancer are mentally ill? Good to know.
>>46928976
a guy taking hormones to try and be a girl is mentally ill.

>Why are there no new flagship phones with keyboards?
My guess is that they were mostly impractical; keyboards on smartphones have always stopped working after a couple months of use. That is unless you never used it.
>Almost every time I see someone with a smartphone they are texting.
Visit the play store and search for "keyboard"; you're not going to get swype features with a physical keyboard, OP. When all you're using are your thumbs and sometimes your index fingers, you ought to remove as much effort needed in order to actually type; otherwise it's just needlessly complicated.
>Isn't there a demand for them?
Yes, but ever since the launch of the iphone phones with physical keyboards have been becoming more and more of a niche thing.
>>46929018
It sounds like anon might have GD, though.
>>46929047
>repressed
>>46929055
I'm the same anon.
I was merely pretending.
I'm homo tho.
