For me it's Motorola because they are one of the few companies still iterating and throwing different weird designs at the wall to see what sticks.

Hopefully they'll throw one at the wall with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard lol. Whoever does that again (that's not a niche device full of other issues) will get my money immediately.

Same. The Motorola Droid 4 is my all time favorite phone, not viable as a modern daily driver, but damn do I miss being able to pop the keyboard out for longer messages, compose mostly coherent messages without looking, or just reclaim screen real estate.

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 3 points 3 months ago

Yes, to all of that. Also, I remember using my HTC TouchPro2 as a pocket SSH terminal to log in and check/fix random issues from anywhere. Sad that slide out keyboards on phones were a casualty of the thinness wars.

can they do it with butterfly keys to keep it silly thin? or would they just rattle in your pocket?

[-] I_Miss_Daniel@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Agreed.

$300 for the g84, I'm quite happy. Dual sim Call recording Stereo speakers Headphone socket Oled display Sd card Fast charge 5Ah battery Thin and light. 5g

Only downside is mediocre camera. Ok if you don't need to zoom in.

I agree. They seem to never get enough attention in the press but they make really nice phones.

I will buy an edge 50 pro soon but having a hard time finding the white one for a good price.
