What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost? (lemmy.world)

For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

Physical keyboards. I want a modern Blackberry that actually gets some half-assed OS support. Unihertz Titan was a neat one but had some quirks.

How hard is it to get into the phone game in terms of regulatory stuff? Like if I had the device designed and manufacturing ready to go, what legal hoops would I have to jump through to become a phone maker?

Is it a closed space? Can I enter it? Do I need to register with FTC or get other huge corps to cooperate with me or anything?

So much this. I'd love Blackberry Passport but with modern Android. I don't mind it being wide, I just need a good keyboard which I use far more than designers think.

Preach. I still rock my Key2LE, and will probably get another NOS one if this one dies. Which might be a while, because it's still fine after 6 years.

I want a case that slides a keyboard out from the bottom of my horizontal iPhone so bad.

True, I loved my Symbian E61i.
