    Hopefully they’ll throw one at the wall with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard lol. Whoever does that again (that’s not a niche device full of other issues) will get my money immediately.

      Same. The Motorola Droid 4 is my all time favorite phone, not viable as a modern daily driver, but damn do I miss being able to pop the keyboard out for longer messages, compose mostly coherent messages without looking, or just reclaim screen real estate.

        Yes, to all of that. Also, I remember using my HTC TouchPro2 as a pocket SSH terminal to log in and check/fix random issues from anywhere. Sad that slide out keyboards on phones were a casualty of the thinness wars.

      can they do it with butterfly keys to keep it silly thin? or would they just rattle in your pocket?
