Hey, if we're doing quirky pones only 1% of users will ever consider buying again can you bring back hardware keyboards please?
hey, can you bring back removable batteries too, since we are at it?
I thought capitalism was supposed to provide options.
I was literally fed propaganda in American Public School about a "study" where capitalists chose what kind of soda they wanted, while communists just said "yes or no" because they viewed it all as just "soda."
I'm starting to realize just how stupid the average idiot american is. Being raised and told you're from the greatest country ever is deadly.
There were different types of soda available in the Soviet Union, just not as many as in the west. Want something truly weird? Try Tarkhuna. The bright green color is natural.
Good news! EU passed the law they have to be back in 2027 (IIRC)!
i'm aware! i hope they come to my country too.

For those with ADHD or just don't have the time to watch:
He bought a Samsung Flip with a broken inner screen, removed the screen and split the phone in half, and turned it into a modern take on a slide phone.
To do so, he 3D printed a custom mold to replace the bottom half of the phone, and then shoved a Blackberry keyboard into it. Designed a custom hinge so that instead of flipping the phone open, you slide the keyboard out from behind and it drops below the cover screen—which is now the main screen—because he used a 3rd party launcher to make it behave as such. That way the phone is fully functional without the inner screen.
The only thing he didn't do (nor did he attempt to), is figure out a way to move one or both of the cameras. Since the phone no longer flips open, the two main cameras are now both selfie cameras and there is no main camera(s).
Tl;Dr: he cut a phone in half and gave it a keyboard.
Yes, please and thank you.
