The worst thing to happen was the boring black rectangle format winning and all other designs disappearing. You don't have to buy a foldable if you don't want to. It's next to impossible to buy anything that's doesn't look like every other phone on the market.
I miss full slide-out qwerty keyboards.
Same 😢 I've been looking around for one for years but there's nothing that can run deGoogled android.
No slide out, but unihertz and clicks are both making a BlackBerry style form factor with android and physical keyboard :)
(Clicks one is called the clicks communicator. Figured I'd mention since that might be helpful to know if anyone wanted to look it up)
I'm familiar with both. I think it's possible to run LineageOS on some unihertz but the support is not solid enough for me to risk it. Clicks is fairly new, I think they open source some stuff but it's not supported by anything deGoogled yet.
Oops, I think I meant to reply to the same person you were replying to
I do think I saw clicks say they were talking to a custom ROM project, but I'm not positive I'm remembering that right
That was the peak of pre-iPhone cell phone tech imo
I loves those. No waterproofing though. That's how my last one got deatroyed
