Does it really need it now though? It's running nougat and so far that's everything you need. Also I'm sure developers will figure something out in a few years. If only BB10 could have had better apps, this wouldn't be a problem. I personally loved BB10 and it was the best.

All I want is something that looks like the phone in OP but with a t9 keyboard.
They should obviously remove the home/back software buttons and integrate it with the keyboard somehow. eg. long press space bar == home or something.
I really miss having a good way to write on phones.
qwerty is a bad system (especially on touch).
Autocorrection for qwerty has never been good, T9 just worked and is so easy to improve.

I'm fucking sick of smartphones and I'm sticking with this.

50 $, battery lasts forever, resistant as hell even though screen is bigger than the original.

I just call my mom and brother with my phone, and sometimes some of my few friends, mostly to set up where/when to see each other, so I'm fine with it. I use the PC for work and entertainment and I don't give a shit about social networks or shitty chats like WhatsApp or cancergram. If I want to talk with someone I'll just call him, better if on the house phone so we both don't pay and, having a wired one, I don't get head cancer.

I once used a smartphone and all that crap and I'm fucking sure my brain health has improved since I switched to this jewel. Less distractions, less bullshit.
>>
having been typing on a touch screen for almost 10 years, I'm so good at it now that I don't see the point. I've tried typing on an old blackberry, and newer physical keyboard devices, and it's simply not as fast for me as the touch keyboards I've gotten used to.

I'm interested to know if it is for anyone else.

>inb4 i haz small thumbs n landscape too big
>>
>>62404660
Same for me. Got a Blackberry Classic from work and while it is a great keyboard that lets you type incredibly consistent long text without much need for typo-corrections, it just is so much slower to type overall.
Keyboard shortcuts for things like marking mail and replying is neat tho.
Would really love to use it, but all apps I use for private life like Instagram are not available on this device unless you emulate them. And then they're not tied in with the hub which I don't like.
But yeah, even for power mail users there's no "need" anymore to have a physical keyboard.

I have the illusion of being so good because the corrector helps me. But I'm trying right now and if I pay a bit more attention I can properly type without errors even without correction.

So yeah I'm now better to type on the phone than on the PC and this makes me feel filthy.
>>
>>62404660
I am not even at 50% efficiency of my typing speed with T9.
I can't type without looking anymore and I can't write an email without having to rely on autocorrect to fix the fact that my fingers are the size of 3 buttons.
I haven't tried the blackberrys, but I don't think this is a good solution anyway.
For me, the problem is a full qwerty keyboard.
The only situation where a qwerty keyboard is better than a T9 is when a word is not already in the dictionary.
This could easily be fixed though.
>>
>>62404718
such a real feel. I once did a screen recording of me typing, that showed where I hit the screen. The corrector has gotten so good, and I've gotten so good at correcting the corrector that I basically just poke the screen in the general area of the letter I want to type.
>>
>>62404732
>can't type without looking anymore.
Do you not type much? I can type without looking at the keys, just looking at the cursor. Possibly that's what you meant.

My typing skills are like 1% if I keep the phone in landscape mode. I only do it with the Hearthstone chat since it's the only way to talk to my friends without putting the game in background which could be seen as a disconnection from the game, but it's just outright painful, I tend to give short answers in this scenario.
>>
>>62404785
thats the point of having a phsyical qwerty so your fingers dont cover the screen

then you get the best of both worlds because its the same aspect ratio as tvs and monitors 16:9 and everything formats correctly
>>
>>62404862
Except in OP you have that fucking qwerty permanently covering what in other phones would be screen.

The reason why both Samsung and Apple went as bezelles as possible is just that: people want more screen percentage.
>>
>>62404862
You don't get the best of both worlds though.
Documents (emails, websites, im's, etc) is a format where you need to show many lines.

The best of both worlds is typing in vertical and watching movies in horizontal (assuming the video format)
The only part I don't understand why we insist on using bad systems.
Screen rotation is a good example.
I get why the automatic rotation thing started.
It is a cool feature to show off, but it has not been improved in a long time and it is really bad.
Applications such as video players should just detect the resolution of the video and then pick the right rotation, it shouldn't be up to the user to rotate it or click the rotate button.
>>
>>62405124
Yeah right? One thing I hate is that I like to keep the rotation off most of the time, since I sometimes type/read while laying and it screws up, so every time I want something to autorotate I have to enable it. The "horizontal" button YouTube App has is good as it saves me from that. But I know you watch porn and their players don't work that way.

>>62405211

>>
>>62405177
I also keep it off at all times, I use newpipe and you can rotate it too, but it irks me that it would ever suggest to play a video in the wrong orientation.

Fucking this.

I have my old Acer netbook with Kubuntu and keep it as a treasure, there's nothing like it anymore. Sadly it's a bit slow for today's standards, even with Kubuntu, if there was something like this but a bit more powerful I'd buy it right now.

I've had 2 tablet PCs too and they just suck. Keyboard docks are never reliable and sturdy as on a netbook, they always feel loose and most of the times they end up to not even getting able to connect to the tablet anymore. Plus the tablet thing makes them overpriced af and you always get shitty specs unless you spend a lot. Yeah, the Surface seems good, but that's a High end device, netbooks were the cheap cute thing.

Plus these things are hard as hell to install linux on, since they basically have no USB drive without the dock (which sometimes isn't even recognized at UEFI level) and you're not even guaranteed it will work decently once you've put it there (thanks drivers).
>>
>>62405235
I wish it wasn't so shit ;-;
>>
>>62405239
Exactly.
Backlit landscape qwerty is where it's at.
-No latency
-works when wet or humid, and gloves.
-can type without looking
-physical switch feedback with added haptic vibration
-full function keys and modifiers (shift ctrl ect)
-programmable macros/scripts on keys
-full screen open for media including gaming
>>
>>62405239
Nah, portrait keyboard isn't as comfy as landscape.

Also, the Priv was sold for an insane $750 and only got an update to Marshmallow two years late. Blackberry is since then on my shit list until the day they unlock the boot loader and good custom ROMs emerge.

Could try Lubuntu which is ubuntu with LXDE, or install LXDE on debian/ other distro of your choice. It's quite a bit lighter than KDE but still keeps floating windows, task bar, etc.

I want to go back to BB so bad. Even though my Samsung S4 has satisfied me for most things, I miss the productivity and the superior keyboard of my old BB Bold. If you were like me and you used a phone exclusively for Facebook, messaging (whatsapp, telegram...) and posting on 4chan, would you buy a new BB Passport for 150€? Or would you get a BB Keyone for 500€?

>>
>>62405799
Don't know what the anon posted but here's my opinion:
The native whatsapp app has been discontinued so you have to use the android version which isn't as well implemented and some features don't work all that good (like sharing videos gives me a "please restart phone" error). Don't know about telegram, never used that.
Funposting on weaboo image boards works well, clover crashes every now and then, haven't figured out dashchan yet because I can't install the extensions.
If you can live with the minor inconveniences and workarounds, go for a passport, if you're a tech illiterate guy like most of my irl friends, go with the keyone

Yeah the scrolling need a bit of getting used to
Also battery is goat

Oh and the narrowness

It needs getting used
Imo the 4 row keyboard > 3 row keyboard in layout so personally I'm fine with the trade off

I'd agree with you until you came to the point where you said no shitty chats, my smartphone could almost be a dumbphone if you go look at the apps that I carry, but the thing that no dumbphone manufacturer has come up with yet is one that allows VOIP through "shitty messaging apps" a lot of my friends only use facebook IM and when you're talking cross countries you can't simply call them or text them directly.

I do miss hardware keyboards, this was my first Android device and while it was far from perfect, the keyboard was pretty comfy, but the whole hinge setup made the phone quite thick even for the time... but today I don't see the point of blackberry style keyboards.. there are a ton of great touch keyboards on android that are way more useful than a hardware keyboard with a layout you can't change other than remapping keys.

I owned a Q10 for many years but still wonder how the Passport holds up. I know the OS is super optimized to the hardware so there's probably no lag at all. Do you use Android apps too or mostly use the BB10 apps from the app store? How is social media stuff? Mostly instagram since I use that quite a bit.

I'd switch in a heartbeat to the Passport but mostly I'm worried about a few apps. Personally I think BB10 beats out iOS and Android in terms of speed and functionality.

You can if you want
It's also not that that sensitive
Swiping up and using the keyboard to scroll only works half way through the keys so you can don't accidentally scroll or autocorrect

If you really care I can post a vid of it

>>62422742
I wish there was more utilization of the touchpad keyboard like flicking through the pictures in your gallery and pinch-to-zoom outside of the browser. Maybe even a cursor to navigate over your screen without smudging it for maximum comfy.
>>
>>62423001
That's what I'm talking about. The earlier (? the slider one) model would be perfect if it was possible to not use the touch at all. I'm not really a fan of the "smart" phones of today.
Ah whatever.

i'd rather trust hitler than lenovo, and i'm jewish

it really sounds like a perfect deal though. moto x has terrible battery life or so i've heard, but except that it has all of the nerd stuff. rootable, unlockable device with proper keyboard that even has ctrl key for your nerdic needs. and chinks mumbled something about built-in battery in keyboard, that could also work.

i think i'll back them up and pray for keyboard to be comfortable, then i'll get moto z when i get keyboard. In worst case, i'll just sell the keyboard on auction
>>
>>62429046
You know his driver was jewish?
moto z has pretty decent battery life if you ask me. If you add the turbopower mod it becomes insane.
>>
>>62429293
i'm sure it's good with battery pack, but i won't be able to use battery pack with keyboard snapped on it. I've read in reviews that it's not really "decent" without packs, but now i checked out benchmarks and supposedly it's roughly 60-70% of my z5 compact battery life. Doesn't sound "good", but i guess it would be kinda acceptable.

the more i read about it, the more i want this phone. I wanted to get Priv, but now i think i'll really gamble and back this keyboard bullshit. I just hope they won't charge some stupid money for shipping, i'd sleep better if i knew the exact amount.
>>
>>62429553
oh, it says exact amount for shipping after clicking the purchase form. nice

I know, and if it was the EUR equivalent of $550 I'd get it. But at this price you could get the latest iPhone instead.
You'd think Blackberry would want market share and relevancy, yet they still only pander to the diehard business blackberry lover.
Why even include 4GB RAM if you're just going to check your mail and browse websites?
They should make a good model and price it so low that it barely brings them any profit, but their market share would increase by a ton. Then release a premium phone next and reap the profits off the bigger marketshare.
If it was 350 Euro it would be competitive here.
>>

>>62430963
https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/blob/master/ADBLOCKING.md

>>62430817
Anon the keyone was never to gain market share
The DTEK phones are
Physical keyboards aren't competitive either
You know what is competitive?
Waterproofing, big displays, no bezels, low price points etc etc
Nobody cares about having a great typing experience enough to sacrifice roughly a third of their screen for it anymore and blackberry is fully aware of this when they sold off the manufacturing rights to TCL

Blackberry will probably never make a phone with a physical keyboard ever again but in return they made a great phone for one last time

Also I paid 709 euros roughly for my keyone lol
Definitely would buy it again over any flagship
