BlackBerry as the Physical keyboard King of smartphones

What is the state of Physical keyboard on smartphones?


Physical keyboard has been the main feature of phones like the ABC type of keypads. But as time goes by companies kept on innovating the keyboard features. Bringing the computer keyboard to an actual smartphone keyboard. But one company stands-out the most when it comes to physical smartphone keyboards.


Is physical keyboard gone? Or just out of the trend? Well, No and Yes in terms of trend. But physical keyboard still exist but some people would prefer a touch keyboard, so it's out of the trend already. Having touchscreen phones gives you advantages the most common is having large screen size not like with physical keyboard phones that gives you fair enough screen size.

Let's go back to that one smartphone company that gave justice to the physical keyboard, BlackBerry. BlackBerry innovated the smartphone keyboard industry by making great experience when it comes to typing, in their ads they would always mention their keyboard experience that you could only get from BlackBerry smartphones most especially the Bold, Curve, Q10, Q5 and Q20, and Torch slide-up. But BlackBerry does offer on-screen keyboard like the BlackBerry Storm 9850 and 9860, BlackBerry Torch 9860 and BlackBerry Curve 9380. But  last January 30, 2013 BlackBerry announced its BlackBerry Z10 then followed-up by the BlackBerry Z30 and then followed yet another announcement at MWC 2014 it is the BlackBerry Z3 a full touch smartphone for a budget-friendly price range, but BlackBerry didn't stop there but they kept on innovating its keyboard features and made the BlackBerry Z10, Z30 and Z3's keyboard more and much smarter than any other full touchscreen smartphones. But they also released the most smartest physical keyboard on their line-up the BlackBerry Q10, BlackBerry Q5 and BlackBerry Q20.

We're really in high hopes of seeing an update from the physical keyboard and fully touch screen line-up of BlackBerry, I do use my BlackBerry Curve 9360 and " I'm loving my physical keyboard when it comes to typing ", with its keyboard built quality. I'm using it right now as I'm writing this review. I won't replace it with any other physical keyboard smartphone.

And I would love to use other BlackBerry devices that offers smart physical keyboard like the Q10, Q5 or Q20 and maybe soon, hopefully.. I could make a review about other BlackBerry devices with physical keyboard and non-physical keyboard.
