Are there any modern phones with physical keyboards being made? I don't mind settling for chinkshit
I refuse to tap on glass like a fucking mongoloid. Touch screens were the worst thing to ever happen to mankind

There is one flip smartphone from lenovo and the old Droid 4.
Nothing else came up when I was searching and I settled down for shit glass.

Blackberry Priv. Or just wait for the next Blackberry Android phone since they will all almost certainly feature physical keyboards.

Blackberry got your back
t-that's not how chess works

The galaxy flip phone

Maybe it was a discovory check. Assuming those are queens
Either go Blackberry Privy, wait for the new one (both options suck because no root) or go for a 2012 phone (surprisingly still usable)

why do you need a physical keyboard for ants? are you writing a novel on your phone?
Just take your laptop if you need any serious typing done.
The Priv. Look at Unbox Therapy's video on it. Showcases it well.

Some people prefer the tactile sensation of a real keyboard or being able to type without staring at the keyboard.

that's a perfectly valid reason.
but for the sake of argument: why can't you put up with a small inconvenience of not having a physical keyboard to get a major boost in 95% of smartphone usage which doesn't need keyboard input?

Some people prefer 100% of their experience to not be a pain in the ass when they're paying 200+ bucks for a phone.

You can't name a single reason?
Blackberry Priv if you don't mind its size. Also, Blackberry Classic and Blackberry Q10. My preference is the Classic.

I have a Droid 4 (they literally cost $40 at this point). Frankly, the keyboard is kind of shit because it's much slower than tapping on glass. The improved accuracy is negated by the added time spent having to physically press the buttons down.

You can't really have what you want to have, it's just physical limitations senpai. It's either:
Monoblock:
>durable
>keyboard so-so
>screen so-so
slide out:
>screen great
>keyboard so-so
>breaks down easily due to lots of mechanical parts
Full-touchscreen
>keyboard shit
>durable
>sceen great
>>53396668
>breaks down easily due to lots of mechanical parts
This is just a lazy and false assumption. The screen is much more prone to breaking than a slideout part.
>hurr durr you just have more parts that can be broken then!
I hope you're posting on a tablet because your keyboard might break one day

It's not about speed, it's about comfort. Granted I don't have a Droid 4, but another qwerty so I'm not sure what your kb is like.

GET WITH THE TIMES GRAMPA TECHNOLOGY IS FASHION NOW
You can't even root the Priv, fuck that
I just want a G1 with a bigger screen and modern specs.
Is that so hard to ask for? Track ball navigation was the comfiest thing ever.
>>53396773
well if you only use your phone to browse web on couch and watch furry porn in the toilet then your slideout keyboard will probably last for years.
If you actually use your phone as a *mobile* device slideouts will constantly break down.

What bigger stress does that involve compared to browsing web on couch and watching furry porn in the toilet?

It's not worth the increased thickness and added cost of manufacturing when most users are content with their infinitely configurable keyboards on the main display. You can get a separate bluetooth keyboard if you really need that kind of thing.

bumps against other people, bumps against other equipment in your pack, shit getting inside hinges, etc etc...
inb4 "you bump your regular phone too" it's not even remotely the same, moving parts in the hinges are much less resistant to stress
>>53397310
Yes it is. Fuck your thinness fetish
>>53397379
>bumps against other people
Do you travel in a japanese subway or on the poo loo train for "bumping against people" to be such a regular occurence?
>bumps against other equipment in your pack
Hence you carry your phone in your fucking pocket
>shit getting inside hinges
As opposed to shit getting smeared across your screen, pajeet

>Do you travel in a japanese subway or on the poo loo train for "bumping against people" to be such a regular occurence?
I go to concerts and clubs, also camping.
>Hence you carry your phone in your fucking pocket
no, because it will fall out when I'm dancing.
>As opposed to shit getting smeared across your screen, pajeet
when shit is smeared on the screen I just wipe it off. when it jams in the hinge, i can't fix it without proper tools and a clean, bright working area.
