Is there a new phone with physical keyboard that /g/ recommends? The blackberry priv has the keyboard on the wrong side.
I had a motorola backflip, I loved it, with the backtrack on the back of the screen; I would love a new model with similar shape and features and modern hardware.

If you can miss Whatsapp. Would love to get a phone like this but i have to stay connected via whatsapp for social and work related stuff.

I wonder if a generic attachable keyboard exists. I found this one for iPhone

The best one I've found is the age old Motorola Photon Q, which is really sad. At this rate I'll keep using it until the end of time.

No. It's more like a hobby thing.
>>
>>58791906
does whatsapp have bots? if yes, you can set up a irc server and a bot on one computer (vps) and make it a irc-watsapp bridge. I'm pretty sure that all old smartphones have working irc clients

I have this one to play DCSS and other roguelikes. I bought it brand new in 2015. Works fine, the bad stuff is that 512mb of storage.
>>
>>58792003
That's cool. What does it run? Android or Symbian?
>>
>>58791240
BB10 is pretty much dead. Which is a shame, it's actually a fairly nice system. End of February the BlackBerry Mercury is supposed to come out, runs lagdroid though.
>>
>>58791814
I rescued a bunch of E7-00's from an e-waste bin some weeks ago. The keyboard is pimp as fuck but the whole Symbian deal is a shame.

>no OTA updates
>went closed source so no updates for custom roms either
>no app store
>none of the built-in apps work

There's apparently only one custom rom for the E7 and it was last updated some time in 2014. It also has a bug where the phone randomly drops a wifi connection if it's using wpa2 encryption.

have you used android in the last decade?

I still have my N900 and couple HTC phones with QWERTY board. I absolutely miss these, writing w/ on-screen kb. is a fucking mess.
>>
>>58792003

Ultra slow/low storage memory kills this phone.

It's possible to make phone usable with link2sd and making partition for system on very fast microsd card but phone will still be very very slow when switching and loading apps.
>>
>>58791200
Any blackberry phone is your only option.
>>
>>58793464
different guy here. i used a lumia 1520 on windows phone 8 and 10 before getting my priv and i can confirm that lagdroid is not a meme. WP is superior to android in many ways, sadly they refuse to fix old bugs and never update their shit.
>>
>>58791264
Whatsapp is working great in my phone, as are most other apps. I wish the blackberry leadership hadnt and wasnt so retarded so it could have easier interactions wth them, but meh.

I'm still wondering why people don't want those keyboards.
There is no good smartphone OS
There is no smartphone with physical smartphone
Technology sucks

I don't remember if I can post links or not, if they are marked spam or not, which wordfilters this website has, and so on.
