Hi.
I live in the US (sorry world) and have had a physical QWERTY keyboard phone since the LG enV waaaaay back in 2006. Lord, it's almost old enough to drive.
I'm on Verizon as well. Currently rocking the Samsung Stratosphere 2, which is essentially the last decent smartphone made with a keyboard from 2012. Yes, it's 2020 and I'm using a phone from 2012. I blame Steve Jobs.
Anywhoo, it was abruptly brought to my attention by Verizon when my WiFi hotspot just stopped working that, by the end of the year, they'll have shut down their CDMA network which includes the limited 4G
