Don't feel bad or at least don't feel alone. Such is generally my luck too.

One thing has become abundantly clear: You, me, and so many others in the comments here need to be in charge of phone design and not whoever's been doing it for the last 10 years.

I'd love to see the keyboards and trackballs manufactured again if for no other purpose than having them available for other projects.

There was a project a while back called Beepberry that was a little handheld Linux thing that used Blackberry keyboards. Among other reasons, the supply of the Blackberry keyboards dried up so the project died.

I pre-ordered last June and got it toward the end of July. It seems to ship directly from the factory in Hong Kong, so you have to use the tracking link they send you until it clears customs in your country.

I did a first impressions post about it when I got it.

I'm really starting to feel like Android 11 is the "Windows 7" of Android.

I had the LG Genesis that was the spiritual successor to the enV. Loved the form factor but the battery life was abysmal at like 2 hours of use. Yay Android 2.2 lol.

Gemini PDA

Is that the one from PlanetCom? I've been looking at both their Gemini and Cosmo Communicator. Both were out of stock when I ended up going with the Minimal.

Looks pretty pocketable (and gorgeous) to me.

I've been rocking a Minimal Phone for about 6 or 7 months now, and man am I excited to have options for QWERTY phones again.

just plain boredom with glass slabs

This. So much this. They're all boring, too tall, and too skinny with about as much personality as a used up dryer sheet. It's like they're designed solely for scrolling an endless feed of mind-numbing slop. I remember being able to actually do things on my older smartphones (RDP, SSH, editing documents/spreadsheets, etc). You can still do those things now, but you basically have to break out a bluetooth keyboard to do anything more than the most basic things and it feels like trying to look at a panorama through a keyhole.

Probably Nico Borie

Edit: Oh, goddamnit. My dyslexic ass read that as Michael Langdon. I'm gonna leave this up for a laugh at my expense but disregard.

the segment has been shared widely on social media

Not widely enough.

Even if they do eventually air it, it would be enlightening to play "spot the difference" between what they didn't want to air and what they finally do. My guess would be CBS doing something like sed s/Trump/Biden/g to the script.
