What I miss the most about BlackBerry is its hardware is its physical keyboards, trackballs, and square screens.

Android has seen a few devices over the years that offer physical keyboards.

Android OEMs are allergic to adding moving parts to phones; just look at folding market that recommends insurance because the folding mechanisms are expected to break.

I say it's time OEMs started exploring something different from all-screen devices.

Perhaps I'm an outlier, but honestly, what I am is a power user, and I no longer feel catered to. I really wish that would change. Perhaps I'm being nostalgic, and maybe my glasses are rose-tinted, but what I can say for certain is that modern phones bore me to death, and that needs to change with the first things on my list: adding keyboards, trackballs, and square screens back to the design of our smartphones..
