What I desperately want to see: A large screen Android vertical slider

Like this phone with android.

 

Yeh he meant the device design not the OS.

You want something like that with Android?

 

I don't think I am going too far out on a limb when I say you are definitely in the minority here. I imagine someone will try it at some point. Sales will dictate ever trying it again... most likely the sales will be terrible compared to the competition.

 

Have you considered a phone with a landscape keyboard like the Desire Z? It may take you some time to get used to the different keyboard, but at least it has the tactile feel of physical keys that you seem to want.

 

Why? Full touch screens are the fashion if you look at what's currently out there. If you're only considering your own preference I guess it's not surprising that you're surprised.

 

You are definitely in the minority here (unless if you are talking to a group of black berry fans). I would like a phone with hardware keyboard too, but only because I want to use it for gaming. I wouldn't want to actually type on a keyboard that small.

 

I am so with you on this. In fact, I am typing this on my Motorola Droid Pro. It really surprises me that no one has ever offered a a verticle slider with a 4 inch screen. How many black slabs or horizontal slider do we need? Here's hoping.

 

Full touch screen phones take up too much screen real estate when editing word/excel and using the terminal emulator.

Since there are plenty of business users, a physical keyboard will still be in high demand.

I'm more than 100% with you all the way with this. I too used to have a Palm Treo 650. My need is extreme really due to arthritis of the hands. It's physically impossible for me manage touch screens.

I'm using one of these atm:
