alt Hacker NewsIf I remember correctly the first android phones were supposed to be keypad phones, and only the launch of the iPhone made them change course.
I remember some phones came with a keypad, but they disappeared quite quickly.

This is correct.
I was lucky enough to need a HTC Touch Pro 2 for work back in the day.
I spent hours fixing scripts and restarting servers at 3 am or on off-days from it. Server intervention times of seconds. Best device ever!
The keyboard was comfy, screen was good enough, and you could use your entire screen for the console because the keyboard was separate.
It also looked wicked.
These days with these pathetic media consumption devices if I need to do something I pull my laptop out.
