Even if this keyboard is as good as a real BB back in the golden years using it on an iPhone is a mess. BBin the golden years was fully optimized for operating with a keyboard.

iPhone is optimized for being a touch screen driven system. Those conflict.

I tried for a good time to develop something very similar years ago, but 1) I wasn't able to find financing and 2) (more importantly) trying to write a UI Shell for Android that worked like the original BB was perhaps not impossible, but way past my and the people with me skill level.

Now what we need is to find an Android device that can run the classic BB software. (Yeah they made their own Android BB, but it sucked)
