Okay so since we're going back to flip phones, can we just get a frickin phone with a button keyboard again??
God yes.
I was looking at phones yesterday and thinking: do they make an actual, premium flip phone with keyboard a la the old Motorola Razr? It appears nobody does. All I could find were cheap shitty Chinese plasticky trash or phones made for the elderly.
I want something with a nice metal/titanium case, premium keyboard, decent oled screen, 10+ megapixel camera on it… and something that I can snap shut like it owes me money. Don’t make it too small; I want a week’s battery life at least and swappable battery.
And I would - and I’m not joking here - pay 600-800 euros for that, depending on how premium the experience is.
I think there’s absolutely a market for that.
A weeks battery is insane, 7-10 times as big as the average battery now.
I get about a weeks battery out of my Punkt, but I don't use it for much besides the occasional text or call. I suspect if I used it more I'd wager I'd get 4 days out of it.
