Let's all close our eyes and go back to 2009 so we can feel the thrill of typing our first email on the go.

I had two BlackBerry devices for work, right about the time they were going away. I’d heard the keyboard was good on earlier models but it seemed like the quality had gotten pretty cheap on the later phones. The BlackBerry 10 OS on my last phone was actually pretty good, and probably would’ve kept them in the market if they’d launched it 5 years earlier.

    Un popular opinion when I had to support those damn things I actually hated the keyboards, always felt the keys where too small

      You need to adjust your patterns to it, but when you do, oh boy is it convenient. I still can type on it blindly almost as quick as I do with full desktop keyboard, and I’m pretty quick with that

        It still blows my mind how fast my friends and I were able to text on feature phones with T9.

        I wonder if the suggestions ended up shaping our language patterns.

          I never used T9 because of that. It never knew what I want to say.

        For reference I have large hands and throught the original huge Xbox “Duke” Controller was comfortable.
