Unihertz Titan 2 Elite hits Kickstarter for $389 and up (BlackBerry clone with Android 16)

The Unihertz Titan 2 Elite is a brand new phone that looks like a blast from the past. With a design inspired by classic BlackBerry smartphones, the Titan 2 Elite features a 4.03 inch square display positioned above a thumb keyboard.

But it has a thoroughly modern spec sheet, including a 120 Hz AMOLED touchscreen display, a MediaTek Dimensity processor, 12GB of LPDDR5 memory, and Android 16 […]

Unihertz Titan 2 Elite debuts at MWC (mid-range phone with a QWERTY keyboard)

The Unihertz Titan 2 Elite is an upcoming smartphone that’s designed to look a lot like old smartphones… the kind that were released before capacitive touch displays were a thing and physical keyboards were all the rage.

After previewing the phone in January, Unihertz is showing off the phone at MWC this week. The company plans to launch a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for it later […]

Lilbits: If you’re not paying for it, you’re not the customer

Folks have been making a rather persuasive argument for decades that if you watch “free” TV that’s supported by advertising, maybe you’re not actually the customer… advertisers are. And you’re the product they’re paying to reach.

So it was probably just a matter of time before someone took that to the next level and decided that not only should TV programs be free to watch, the TV hardware […]

Unihertz has shared a teaser video for the upcoming Titan 2 Elite: a smartphone with a QWERTY keyboard and an updated layout + a display with slimmer bezels and a hole-punch camera. More details coming at MWC in Feb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ksnvik3WajQ #KeyboardPhone #MWC2026 #Unihertz #UnihertzTitan2Elite

Unihertz Titan 2 Elite smartphone with a physical keyboard coming soon.

Clicks Communicator is like a modern BlackBerry with a few new tricks (but it’s designed to be a secondary device)

This Clicks Communicator is a modern smartphone with some classic design features. It has an AMOLED touchscreen display, Android operating system, and support for 5G and wireless charging. But it also has a small screen, a physical keyboard, a microSD card reader and a notification LED.

If the result is a phone that looks like a modern take on a BlackBerry, that’s very much intentional. It’s […]

Can we have this in sub 6 inch with a qwerty keyboard, please?

Keyphone is a feature phone with swappable keyboard and camera modules (crowdfunding)

Over the past few years we’ve seen a number of efforts to bring physical keyboards back to smartphones. But we’ve also seen a growing number of efforts to make smartphones… less smart, as a way to ensure they’re less distracting and addictive.

The Keyphone falls into both categories. It’s a relatively simple feature phone that runs a stripped down version of Android 15 that only comes […]

CrackBerry founder (and co-founder of then Clicks keyboard for modern phones) wants to partner with BlackBerry on a new phone with a keyboard and classic branding. First he's gauging interest with a petition. https://crackberry.com/bringbackblackberry #BlackBerry #KeyboardPhone #CrackBerry #BringBackBlackBerry

@jonah Me too, I really miss the BlackBerry Classic. It was a great phone.

I wish BlackBerry had made the hardware open-source before closing. I think it would still be very usable with a basic Linux system.

Anyway, if you are looking for an alternative 'phone' with a QWERTY keyboard, the uConsole might be a workable alternative, even if it is bigger than even the BlackBerry Passport.

I used an F(x)tec Pro¹ for a few years and loved it, but now it's dead. I kinda just want another #keyboardphone, but I have an option at a very cheap pixel. The question is, which #Pixel #phone has the best physical keyboard add-on that will make me feel like I'm still using my #Pro1?

I need a sidekick-style #keyboard with slanted #QWERTY, *not* squared-off chicklets, and it needs a number row. Here are examples of acceptable keyboards:

The Minimal Phone hits Indiegogo for $350 and up (E Ink phone with a QWERTY keyboard)

The Minimal Phone is an Android phone with a screen that bucks almost every trend in the modern smartphone space. Instead of a big screen with vibrant colors and a high refresh rate it has a small black and white E Ink display positioned above a physical keyboard, making the phone look a bit like a modern BlackBerry.
First unveiled in January, […]

The Minimal Phone pairs an E Ink screen with a QWERTY keyboard and Android (crowdfunding)

Most modern smartphones have big, colorful touchscreen displays and lack physical keyboards. The Minimal Phone bucks both trends. It takes two very niche features and combines them into a single device: it’s an Android-powered smartphone with a square E Ink display and a QWERTY keyboard.
You can’t actually buy this phone yet, but the […]

@lj_writes there's also the #Unihertz #Titan #phone at about 340 USD, but that's more of a #Blackberry-like portrait-oriented #keyboardPhone, with a rather limited #keyboard layout, and I would definitely end up missing the ctrl, alt, esc, and super keys.
