In design, they paid a lot of attention to making common actions available with your free thumb so you could navigate most apps with one hand. App-switching, context menus, device operations were all swipe operations.
Having a hardware keyboard made it a bit chunky but didn't feel bad in your pocket because it was so smooth. Also the hardware keyboard provided a true tactile feel so you could even type out some messages without looking at your screen nearly as much as you need to with on-screen keyboards.

- astrange 4y agoWhen phone designers read posts like this, they try selling small phones again, and then nobody buys them. (A variant is saying smaller phones are better for women who have smaller hands. They care even less because they have purses.)
- rozap 4y agoI would buy it. Sure, it wouldn't sell like the next iPhone Whatever, but I think there is a healthy niche.
