Sure, the very first iPhone released today, but does anyone remember the first Android smartphone?
In October of 2008 HTC’s T-Mobile G1, or HTC Dream as it’s known outside the U.S would launch being the first phone with the Android OS. The G1 was priced at $179 — which was pretty affordable even in those days — and featured top-of-the-line specs including a Qualcomm MSM7201A processor, 192MB of RAM, and 256MB of internal storage (expandable up to 16GB). It also stocked a 3.15MP rear camera, and a 1,150mAh battery.
I built a keyboard attachment for my phone (https://github.com/Dakkaron/Fairberry) because I missed having a keyboard so much. Since it's easy to detach, I can quickly switch between physical and software keyboard.
For example, if I want to type really quietly, I switch to the software keyboard. But I really hate it. The physical keyboard is SO much better.
That looks neat! Remind me of the Keyboard Covers Samsung had for the S7 and S8. Those worked by covering up part of the screen and the physical keys were triggering the touchscreen and a special touchscreen keyboard driver. Worker pretty well and it was nice to have the flexibility to have the cover on or off. It could be stowed on the back of the phone when not in use.
