     that's what I'm saying
     
     unironically this was the best mobile device I've ever carried
     
     keyboard was FAST and felt great to type on, big wide screen when open, and closed it was basically just a normal nokia-style candybar phone

     @duke @Hikari @monsterislandcolonizer Touchscreens have a use, when you have stuff you need to see as large as possible. Pair that with a functional keypad and you’re in business.

     There used to be a company that made detachable keyboards for modern phones, clipped on to the bottom to make a pseudo blackberry

     I just like BUTTONS, man
     
     the other reason I liked those LGs though is that it was a hinge instead of a slider. MUCH more durable in my experience.

     yeah that's one of the last pieces of "fun" tech design I remember
     
     sort of reminiscent of the G3 Macs in that there was no good reason to make it work that way other than that is was fucking fun and felt cool to use
     
     a better time

     Remember when they wanted to give you a cell phone as small as humanly possible and now they're trying to give you a tablet you make calls on that you origami back into your pocket?
