Death of the slide out keyboard phone? Pity...

I used to own a Nokia 8810 many eons ago...it was one of the best phones i've ever used...there's something about a solid well-made slider phone that makes them really appealing
Also own a Samsung Matrix slider phone...can't remember the model number but it's the one used in Matrix Reloaded, it's sitting in storage as part of my Matrix collection..

 

Try to type something blindly or use touchscreen phone with just one hand, which is quite important when you're at work. Impossible, at least without Morse code control app and side hardware button, but it's not the most convenient control method and you can't use it with all devices.

 

Well that all depends on the size of the phone, if it isn't too wide and if im used to the layout of the buttons on the screen I could do that easily, but on the bigger (and better) ones its pretty much impossible.

 

Have to agree with Flash...almost impossible to type blindly on a touchscreen. However, Samsung's Swype app has been a godsend for touchscreen phones. Never in a million years would I have thought that I'd be able to type as fast on a touchscreen as I do on a keyboard!
