For years I've been so close to ordering one of their previous generation phones, and now I feel like I've dodged a bullet by not buying from this company. This new phone is a huge step in the wrong direction.

Can someone please release a nice Sidekick like device with physical keyboard that supports Signal.

Now THAT is a nice looking device!
I cannot understand the nostalgia for physical phone keyboards. They are an objectively slower typing experience.

I would rather just buy a $20 Bluetooth keyboard if I wanted to do some serious typing on a phone. Or maybe get into Samsung Dex and similar technologies.

A physical keyboard like a Treo/Palm Pre, enough storage to store all my photos and say GrapheneOS and I would be in.
Yes, I'm in the exact same location.
