These will likely get different switches and keycaps with #QWERTY and #Colemak ​:neocat_glasses:​

Ah, the joys of finger-worship and the mystical voodoo of hand-honor 🙄. Apparently, our hands have been channeling secret powers since the dawn of the #QWERTY 😮. Next article: "Show your feet respect for their uncanny ability to walk you places" 🦶✨.

BlackBerry Bold 9000
(2008)

The ultimate status symbol for Wall Street executives and celebrities. This premium business smartphone raised the brand's prestige to its absolute peak. It perfectly combined top-tier corporate security with high-end luxury design.

Specs: 624MHz CPU, 128MB RAM, 1GB storage, microSD slot, 2.6" crisp display (480x320), iconic trackball navigation, Wi-Fi, GPS, 2MP camera, and a stellar 1500 mAh battery.

It featured a genuine leather back cover and a premium chrome frame. Its sculpted physical QWERTY keyboard is still considered one of the best ever made for typing. Combined with push email and BBM, it was an elite machine.

I live in America and am on Mint Mobile. I am totally blind and use an external keyboard. I own a Galaxy A15, and while it works well, it's simply too large and wide for my needs, especially when I need to hold it to use Seeing AI (for scanning printed materials). My specifications shouldn't be too difficult to find, and yet, they are.

Android 14 or 15. Technically, I can go as low as 12, but I would really rather not.
Upgradable if possible.
Comes with Talkback pre-installed (or able to have someone install it). I have also heard of MicroG, an alternative to Google services that allows such apps to be installed, so that could work as well.
No larger than the iPhone SE 2022, unless by a tiny amount. Smaller is fine.
Headphone jack.

I am considering the Jelly Max, the Fonepia Q10, and the Minimal Phone. Has anyone here tried any of these in the United States? I don't think the Max has a headphone jack, but as much as I want one, I would be willing to sacrifice it if necessary. I know almost nothing about the Q10. The Minimal contains a real qwerty keyboard, so I wouldn't need to carry one. I don't care what they do with the screen, since I can't see it.

Am I missing any other good phones? I would like to keep this undder $350 at the most, preferably under $300 (Minimal might cost more, but could be worth it).
