I might be the one of the weirdos that want buttons back on phones as well lol. 💀 I loved keyboards.

Keyboards were so nice when you wanted to accurately input characters without putting your faith in auto-correct. God help you if you need to input something not in its dictionary like someone's name.

My biggest annoyance with Gboard is that my muscle memory is so tuned with it and it has GIF search built in...but it keeps wanting to correct random words to whichever is closer: celebrity name or a brand name or something. -_-

Wait, an actually unique smartphone manufacturer and they're not impossibly expensive and aren't locked in to Europe?

How did this happen without me noticing? Cool!! Nice share! Now I want them to put daily drivable Linux on it and I'm insta-sold!

(So far I merely put up with the duopoly of mobile OSs. I don't enjoy them lol)

I was also a Blackberry baby. But I can type faster now with Swype + autocorrect compared to buttons. I do, however, want my camera shutter button back.

Idk about other phones, but at least on my pixel the volume down button is also a shutter button. And double pressing the lock screen button opens the camera

I really miss the 1/2 click to focus. I think Sony is the only phone that has this. :(
