I still want the return of a physical keyboard. Maybe it's just me but text prediction and virtual keyboards and all that still arent up to snuff with what I could do with a BlackBerry without looking 10 years ago.


I'm still using my Droid 4 because of the slide out keyboard. Every time Verizon calls me trying to get me to upgrade my phone I tell them no chance for 2 reasons:

1. I don't want to lose my unlimited data
2. I don't want to lose my slide out keyboard

For #1 they offered my a pretty high data plan for the same price, I think it was 10GB, but don't remember. I say that's pretty tempting, but still don't have a phone I want. They have no answer for that.

And i wish they would bring back T9, I could slang texts like none other on my 10 key flip phone.

ETA: But it ain't gonna happen. Gotta accept reality and get with the times.

really? swipey keyboards are way faster for me than any of the older 'peck peck peck' methods.

i could never go back to tapping a keyboard.

I had to be taught. You can't watch the word be formed because you will want it changed. Just let it happen.

Two bigger sizes, not the 4" anymore. 4.7 and 5.5"


How much bigger will the actual phone be for the 4.7 inch screen? Wouldn't think it would change a ton over the 5S, but just consume more of the surface by sliding speaker, etc up some.

ETA: Found article online that suggest overall phone length increasing from 123 MM to 138 MM.

iPhones have horrifically large top and bottom bezels so keep that in mind. I used a 5S for the T-Mobile test drive and just happened to have a Liteproof case around. My G2 (without a case) was a little wider than the 5S in the case.

here is a 5S next to a Moto X which has a 4.7" screen

I agree swipe is pretty good when you're looking at it.

The scenario was if you're not looking at the keyboard though.

Plus, I was just fast a frick with that little Blackberry keyboard by the time I got rid of it. That's just personal skill baby

I switched from the iPhone to the Moto X. The 4.7" screen really is the perfect size. The 4" screen on the iphone really kinda sucks.

A new Moto X will be announced next week and rumors are that it will have a 5.2" screen.
