    Communication, GPS, web browsing, camera, occasional use as a flashlight, media player, and a multifunction clock. And yeah that’s about it.

          It’s true, but it’s no longer a reality. Keyboards now can only happen in dumb phones or some luxury concept phones. It’s against a couple of current paradigms: making phones easily replaceable, incentivizing quick and short-term usage, having full control over UI\UX, maximizing interactive screen’s real estate, making sure you always look at the screen, and, besides that, engineering challenges that are kinda hard by themselves, but moreso they are in a conflict with banning replaceable batteries, holes for headphones and so on. We are out of luck.

          Nevertheless, I’d probably do any stupid thing to get the modern version of something akin to that beast.
