For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

Physical keyboards. I want a modern Blackberry that actually gets some half-assed OS support. Unihertz Titan was a neat one but had some quirks.

How hard is it to get into the phone game in terms of regulatory stuff? Like if I had the device designed and manufacturing ready to go, what legal hoops would I have to jump through to become a phone maker?

Is it a closed space? Can I enter it? Do I need to register with FTC or get other huge corps to cooperate with me or anything?

So much this. I'd love Blackberry Passport but with modern Android. I don't mind it being wide, I just need a good keyboard which I use far more than designers think.

I want a case that slides a keyboard out from the bottom of my horizontal iPhone so bad.

Preach. I still rock my Key2LE, and will probably get another NOS one if this one dies. Which might be a while, because it's still fine after 6 years.

True, I loved my Symbian E61i.
