The voters have decided that freq432 is right! Vote on the post to say if you agree or disagree.

Go buy one then, I did. As a backup phone I bought a Nokia 'dumb' phone that's actually quite smart. But far out using that keypad was difficult.

Buy one with keypads then ?

Blackberry Bold 9700 had google maps & the web.

The debate should be about keys/no keys on a smartphone. Not Cell Phone VS Smart Phone.

And the answer is yes. Keyboards have a purpose.

5 camera lenses, folding touch-screens - why wont they just build what consumers' have been asking for since 2007, instead of these expensive gimmicks?

None of these advantages are a characteristic of physical keyboard phones. Phones irrespective of physical keyboard presence or not, do and do not have these characteristics.

Anyone do the trick where u did a space then backspace if 2 letters were used by the same key? I know I did

How about ... smartphones with physical keypads. That's where it's at. Unfortunately they are a rare breed.

Most of your points have nothing to do with having an old school type phone or a smartphone, like the removable batteries, the battery life, the games, the use you give them or the type of LTE connection. Rugged smartphones wouldn't be impossible, and putting little keyboards on them is not that hard either. The hard part is for people to buy them.

I miss a clicky QWERTY keyboard. Sigh.

Unpopular opinion. I much prefer smartphones with decent touchscreens.
