The Google G1 has been my best experience with a phone to date. I loved that keyboard and have been searching for a phone to scratch that itch ever since.

There are a few devices that are in the physical button niche still, but from smaller companies and on crowd funding platforms. Their specs leave a lot of room for improvement as well and there is there is risk the device is never produced unfortunately. The two that have the most traction right now are the Pro 1X and the Astro Slide 5G.

The Pro 1X is a second generation device that has a bad history with order completion. There are customers who ordered the first generation years ago who never received a phone. They bumped their order to the Pro 1X and are still waiting.

the Astro 5g on the other hand is from Planet Computers. They've successfully produced a couple devices such as the Cosmo Communicator.

I'll hopefully be getting my Astro this month after backing the project since November bof last year.
