But on a more serious note , the reason for it that many languaages that uses A-Z have additional national letters that are usually on the right of the A-Z block, So if you want to use a national standard keyout, the qwertZ wil have a few misprints, but using the shifted qwertY will require you to memorize totally new positions for them. So while the shifted qwertY might be fine for writing proper English or the US or other pidgin variants, it is suboptimal for the rest of the world.

Yeah, it is fun to see how these simplifications makes the common roots of Nordic, German, Dutch and English stand out. But why not go back to the original "Thorn" Þ rather than Z for "Th" ?

I'm still not convinced Canada exists, since I haven't been there yet. 😂

(Android apps with that functionality build in exists. e.g. Android Assistant)

Likely, I picked it from Google here fastboot version 29.0.5-5949299 Installed as C:\util\ADB\fastboot.exe

I see a slightly different set of commands (Took the liberty to mark the above quote as Code to increase readability)

I have not settled on a typing mode yet. sometimes two thumbs, and sometimes left thumb and two/three fingers on the right hand. Time will tell what I'll setlle on. Most likely thumbs.

Tried fast charging also, works just fine.

What I meant was that it was neither the muscle-memory of ten fingers nor had I used a full five rows thumb keyboard like this.

Well perhaps not muscle memory, but the expectation of where keys are relative to each other matters - at the least it does for me. As I expected/hoped, I make a lot fewer errors on the qwertZ set for DK qwertY after a few weeks, than on the shifted qwertY used for months...

Indeed it does, there are no ideal size that fits all. And usage pattern is also important, some will use it with two hands anyway, Sorry for leading this thread off topic, my point was that it is actually a matter of how you hold it to reach the full keyboard, and IMHO the shift is not even needed in the first place. As I explained here

Well I guess it is debatable if BBmob would ever do another keyboard device. I HIGHLY doubt that that they will ever make a Priv II (Remember the Priv was not TCL, but while BB made hardware), and also doubt TCL/BBMob will even make a Key3, though that is less unlikely than the Priv II.

Sometimes you can get a corner of a piece of paper, or thin stiff plastic, in aiong the edge of a button, and with a little luck push whatever pocket lint that got in there to a side.

We have that discussion elsewhere, but frankly it isn't an issue in landscape, though it -like most slabs today- is too large for most people to operate fully one handed in portrait while keeping a secure grip. See e.g. this (And sorry for the cursing above each of the graphics)

Interesting perspective. I had no idea of the power consumption of either a SIM or an SD-card, and thus no idea if heat dispersion could be an issue. Definitely a potential issue with this hack/solution. Anybody with experience with hot or just warm cards after intensive usage? (And I do not mean if the entire device gets hot). A little googling on SIM: 200µA in idle state 60mA during operation. from ETSI TS 102 221. But SD cards seems worse, them seem to be on 200mA at the worst, so in worst case we would have about 0.9W heating combined.

My point was that if people needs dual sim AND an SD, then the mechanical damaging of the Sim and SD to make a merge is not a big deal, as we are likely to be using the Pro1 for a number of years. And when we want to change, the sim as we know them today are history, and ½TB is likely to be cheap (if still available).

I would certainly prefer not to use them, but if the alternative are the horrific pest of ads, and not a way to buy them away, well then I take the risk...

Personally I would just LOVE to have a way to do micro-payments for NOT wasting my screen with ads, at the exact same amount each site get for showing the ads! I imagine that the companies providing all this junk by law was ordered to also provide the users with an option to pay to not see. Technically with some limits on the amount per view, if more I could choose to see the junk or leave the page. This is especially interesting for the small mobile devices, where the bandwidth wasted for ads also eats a LOT of peoples battery stamina. I use various kinds of adblockers, and feel a l

Thanks for the insight. Another view would be: No collection, no risk of loosing it. wilfully or accidentally. An old saying goes: The road to hell is paved with good intentions. In the US almost anyone can get a gun, most likely primarily bought with good intentions for protection, and big surprise a lot of malicious stuff follows by that. In other countries were guns are harder to get at, big surprise: Fewer are shot. And don't get me wrong, a lot of evil happens all over the world, so it is by far limited to guns. The price of easy access to lethal weapons are dead people

Indeed it does... But slightly less than a virtual keyboard though

Large mailbox, and strong postman needed..... 😜

In the meantime, you can get a click-on keyboard for the Sammy S8- Not fantastic, but it works - and comes in qwertZ too e.g. this, I've used it for a year, see this

Exactly my point. In three years we do not care if we in 2019 made a tiny ½TB dedicated to some purpose. And a Pro2 or 3 are likely to come with eSim (or something new) so the sim we got in 2019 will not work with 6G anyway 😇😜

I would suggest to start with some out-dated sim and a small SD, so damage by destroying either would be very limited. Then you are more certain to do it right on the real cards. I do not know if dual slots are identical for different vendors, but I would guess so. So most likely the created dual-card could be used in another device - but that is purely theoretical, as you of course will not want anything but the Pro1 for the next many years, unless they make a pro2 😜😜 ...And by then the devices will have eSim, and 512GB will be considered small....

It means that if you make a new order today, they now expect to be able to ship it to you in 4-6 weeks.
