Very interesting, though it probably weighs a lot.
If you guys like phones with mechanical keyboards, have you looked into the BlackBerry Key 2? It has very positive reviews on Amazon.
Do you guys really type faster on mechanical keyboards than on touchscreen ones? Or do you just find physical keys more comfortable? My first two smartphones (Palm Centro, HTC Touch Pro2), which I had from 2007 to 2014, both had mechanical keyboards and I thought I wouldn't be able to type as fast on virtual keyboards. When I had to retire the Touch Pro2, I was forced to consider upgrading to a keyboard-less phone, though the 4.3" Motorola Photon Q with a real keyboard was also a candidate. I compared my typing speed on the Touch Pro2's keyboard versus the virtual keyboard of an eReader I happened to have, and was surprised that I typed more or less equally fast on both devices. That convinced me that I didn't have to stubbornly hold on to obsolete keyboard phones.
