divstar 164 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) I definitely prefer the keyboard of this little thing: (HP Veer) The second-best IMO is the BB Priv keyboard due to its touch-functionality. Edited November 24, 2019 by divstar 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I need to do that ASAP if I'm going to use it as anything other than a slab for playing media. I'm back on my D4 now, and what a relief. LOL. I can hardly wait for the D5....er, P1 ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And then there was the Moto Mod QWERTY... I'm actually rather glad now they didn't make the mod because the Moto Z3 and Z4 were terrible subpar and the lack of a Force device just showed Moto has fallen. The Droid 5 is coming......from F(x)tec. :P They picked up the mantle and made the next Droid. Sorry Motorola...you missed the opportunity. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim6263 134 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Been meaning to do this for a while... Really only one good HW keyboard phone I've had (1st pic)... And I used it to take the 2nd pic. - the set-up I'm using now 😉 Prior to my N97 (not mini), it was an N82; & before that the N3250 (my 1st 'smart' phone, WiFi, etc). Once the browser got too limited on the N97 (😪) I've been stuck with 'slabs'. But at least the BT KB (2nd pic) makes my Lumia 950 much easier to use... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I remember right, the turning off was something added - and there were a backside of turning it off too - frankly forgot what it was though. But was enough so that I kept it On, despite all the nuisance. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also the setup doesn't ask if you'd like to disable it, so you're left with it unless you happen to wonder if it can be disabled, and dig through the settings. Nothing weird here except BlackBerry LOL. I don't hate BlackBerry, but I do feel that making the keyboard a trackpad was a weird idea. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waxberry 638 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Mine is also the Nokia N950 the same as @sixaxis I have been using it for 4 years and was afraid of break the screen and not able to get it fixed. @kashifWhat is the far right device? Looks really cool! I love E7 a lot as well, I put N950 above E7 for it's OS and flat keyboard instead of humps... 🙂  2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

epninety 87 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I have an OQO 01+ somewhere. It sets a new standard by taking the zx81 keyboard concept and removing the high-quality feel 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
