I used the holster because I was a huge tool. I still am a huge tool but iphone fits in pocket so I don't need the holster.

I'd take that for portrait mode keyboard. I feel like I'm the only person on God's green earth to be willing to compromise on screen size. I can't do one-handed typing in landscape. I'd even tolerate android for a keyboard.

also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droid_Pro remember this disappointing hunk of junk?

What we need is some group like 51b or whatever who put new guts into thinkpads, and do that but for blackberry.

I will say one thing touch screens have done is force me to have faith in dictation and frankly I do that a lot when I need to effortext.

one of my first jobs I had a data-only bb and one of those nextel motorola bricks, and wore both. after like a year they got me the nextel blackberry so I just had to holster one device. very cool

i would have bought that in a second if it didn't have a loving 6" screen

and to add insult to injury, no rear fingerprint reader to make it easier to swipe down the notification menu which is necessary when you have a goddamn 6 inch screen

there was a bug in the pearl where if it ran out of memory it would accept text messages then immediately delete them without ever notifying you. so there was a period of about a week where my friends all thought i was being a dick and i thought all my friends were being dicks until we finally saw each other face to face and figured out what was going on

when i took the phone back to the verizon store to tell them my phone was busted the sales guy told me i just had to restart the phone whenever that happened and acted like i was crazy for thinking that was dumb as gently caress
