If you had been in a coma for the past 10 years and the first thing you did after waking up this morning was check out BlackBerry’s homepage, you’d probably think you merely had a long nap. The brand formerly known as Research in Motion has unveiled its latest handset, the Key2, and wouldn’t you know it, it has a QWERTY keyboard.
I assume there’s a market somewhere for smartphones with built-in keyboards. Ever since the launch of the iPhone, an increasingly small subset of users have decried the loss of physical keys as somehow less convenient than small static keys. The extra screen space, versatility, and innovation that software-based keyboards have brought to our phones is apparently lost on this crowd, and they’d rather keep their thumbs in shape than enjoy the modern conveniences of large displays and one-handed mode.
