    Fixed, brain not braining good.

    Also I swear I tried at least once but I can’t remember why right now…

  A QWERTY flip phone would actually be sweet. Are there a y examples from history, from the era when phones were fun?

    Usually not flip, slide was pretty common though

      It also wasn’t common but there was a Samsung Folder which was a flip phone and a Motorola Flipout which was a swivel phone.

      HTC Desire Z had swinging action which was pretty slick. Grit couldn’t get stuck in those sliders and it snapped open with a satisfying clack.

    Not that I can remember, only the numerical pad with letters.
    I think it wasn’t a thing because it was about keeping devices practical and portable… But that ship already sailed and sinked so I’d be up for something bulky but practical or just going back to numerical pad with letters.
