I had two BlackBerry devices for work, right about the time they were going away. I’d heard the keyboard was good on earlier models but it seemed like the quality had gotten pretty cheap on the later phones. The BlackBerry 10 OS on my last phone was actually pretty good, and probably would’ve kept them in the market if they’d launched it 5 years earlier.

    I really enjoyed my Sidekick from TMo. Great device to play Google roulette back when feature phones were king.

    But the dual slide on the Helio Ocean was pretty dope too. The screen was just too small for most people to care.

      Yes, the sidekick LX was the perfect phone, it’s too bad they shit the bed when they tried to bring it back with Android.

      As far as androids with keyboards, the Moto Droid and the HTC G2 really hit the sweet spot. They are tiny little things though compared to current flagships.
