I know screen size and resolution is important to most people; I'm not arguing that most phones should come without keyboards but... I don't believe there aren't room for at least one decent model of smartphone with physical keyboard. At least, for product differentiation when all smartphones...

but there are smartphones without keyboards bigger than smartphones with physical keyboards... not to mention there are plenty of covers and protectors that make phones thicker, and people buy them

actual sales are not valid as data input on this case. people buy what's advertised. if you make a poll about sales, you'll get scrambled results from several indicators (people preferences, cost, marketing campaign, and several etc.). this is the "scientific" answer. the "personal" answer is...

Hi LeoRex, You can't say "the market has spoken" for one case and "a brand is behind it" for other because if manufacturers are not interested in having physical keyboards, as I'm saying, of course there won't be any manufacturer behind physical keyboard feature. And I think the example is...

Hi LeoRex, Some comments about what you said: 1) qwerty phones did not "slowly died". At 2011 we had plenty good qwerty phones. At 2013, only 1 new qwerty model was made (according to phonearena), LG Enact, already outspecced when it was released. 2) So, maybe the people who took the poll...

Hi, Well, I've wait for a year on purpose to came back and tell my experience again. I've used swiftkey for a year, until december... though I've improved my typing speed, it never reached the typing speed of even the default soft keyboard app. I can use one hand, It's slightly more accurate...

all pictures gone from internal, for second time now Hi, I have a galaxy s3 with 10.2 cyanogenmod, for a year and a half now. This is not about recovering the lost pictures; this is about this not happening again. Today I opened the gallery to look for a picture, and I see only 1 picture I...

I understand the "muscle memory", but what I say is that "CONTROL" has the exact same path that "VPMYTP ", the difference is where you start. If you say you can start on the right key without looking, you must be the "pin the tail on the donkey" world champion. Sliding keyboards does not...

Hi Leo, Thanks for your answer. I know anyone would adapt and improve if use any touch method enough time. I just don't imagine how could one put the fingers on the keyboard correctly with no reference at all. And if you have to see to put them, I can imagine you can move the finger with no...

I agree with the claim that sales are key to the companies. But sales depends on marketing. I dare anyone claiming that users don't want physical keyboards to find on youtube an advertise of an android phone with a physical keyboard, any of the last ones (htc mytouch, motorola droid, enact,etc)...

Well, I can't imagine how could I type without looking if my fingers doesn't have anything to touch but a plain screen. Moreover, I can't write an entire phrase without making mistakes, like hitting the "." or the letter "n" instead of the spacebar, or the "c" for the "v", among the common...

I use swype too when I'm not at home and I can't use wifi keyboard. I've improved my typing speed (regarding the soft keyboard, not the physical one), but it's not even close to the speed I had on the physical keyboard. With a physical keyboard I can write without even looking at the phone...

Hi HG, Thanks for your answer. I've already bought a bluetooth keyboard, I'm waiting for it to be delivered. Too bad I will have to spend battery on this. I'm using wifi keyboard while I'm at home. Regards!

Hi Tsepz, thanks for your answer! Don't you find odd that most popular phones ara also the most advertised ones? According to a Sprint Manager, the qwerty phones did very well and they have 40% of their market with qwerty phones and people liked them, accordint to polls: I come not to praise...

Hi, Ok; whatever the first smartphone was, we're all buying things that once didn't existed. Like everything. If people always choose with their wallets, the "mini" versions of the smartphones would be more popular than the original ones... Thank you for your recommendation, I will see to it.
