Also fair! I LOOOOOOVED my Android phones, but i I’ll didn’t have a choice but to switch when I de-Googled my household and life. I certainly wasn’t going to switch to a Windows phone!
I did play with my partner’s iPhone when I had my G2, and typing on the on-screen keyboard was the first time I was swayed from “I’ll never NOT have a physical keyboard on my phone.” Android phones now have awesome on-screen keyboards, but back when the original Evo was top dog… they were absolute rubbish.
I still miss my slide out keyboards, though.
Quick edit: really strange to have like… normal, reasonable conversations like this. If I was back on Reddit, we’d be shitting on each other endlessly.
To be honest. I’d be down to de-google. My only issue is, I use youtube way top much. I use it as background. I’ve heard of piped, so I want to check that out, but the last time I looked at it, I got confused on hpw to login. But I’m sure I’ll find it somewhere. Also, use revanced on my phone and smart tube on my TV, so that’s at least something.
I think I’m too young to deeply remember full screen flip out keyboards. I remember blackberry though, I think they had it. But I never had one. I think my first “smart” phone was actually and Alcatel. Got out through the washing machine and it died. Which is funny, because I’ve dropped my now phone in the hot bath about 3 times, and it’s only ever asked me to dry the holes.
I wonder if anyone would ever come out with a slide out proper smart phone, that’s really good nowadays. Could be quite a fun novelty phone if yiu didn’t use them much. Loved my flip ips though, they were weirdly fun. Also weirdly resilient.
It’s really nice honestly. I don’t think I’ve seen a comment section that looks really toxic. It’s really nice, honestly.
