in '09 I had this slide out physical QWERTY keyboard phone. like you turned the phone on its side and split the phone like you were splitting a deck of cards in half.

I'm surprised there isn't a market for a case with built-in slideout keyboard, I'd hate to have to choose between physical keyboard and rest-of-phone-good.

My first smartphone was a second-hand Motorola Droid A855 that I got in like 2012 (I think it was about 2-3 years old by the time I got it). That keyboard was great and I hated how smartphones were slowly moving away from it.

i had one of those too and i loved it so much

i honestly thought all phones would end up like that and was very disappointed that it was basically one of the only models to exist
