try typing this with swype

Physical keyboard on smartphones is a museum piece..BlackBerry paid high for not having this vision.

All my partners on business are looking for a HW keyboard equipped device for serious typing. Sometimes while having interesting ideas, or important quick notes to save, trust me no one wants to do with swype or swiftkey.
The main reason for manufacturers not making HW keys equipped models is simply its much easier and cheaper to make touch only devices, they ignore the customers, and the customers do exist.
It is "museum piece" for iPhone fanboys who mainly use the phone to play free cheap games, definitely not for serious business users and hackers, coders..
Typed on my be-loved "museum piece" Nokia N950 with HW keyboard, doubt if I can and want to do the same with swype.

Now on topic: Since the camera lens' API is open, it should be possible to use it on Harmattan and Frementle as well.
(Well, when mounted the HW keyboard can not be opened, another good reason for people believe HW keyboard is dead)
BTW I didn't consider under Nitdroid.

Anyway HW keyboard only works better with a slider, not in Q10's type.
There is enough discussion about HW keyboard, and its not related to the topic. I will stop posting this. Whatever you believe I don't care, I know there is a huge demand of QWERTY slider around me, and I'm personally looking forward to the moto droid 5 I wish it could come to reality.

Did you read my post?
physical keyboard it is a niche product...sells little.. the numbers prove
If I have to take note of something use a recording program, much more practical.
you took the red pill ?

Also the HW of N900 is even older, introduced 5 years ago and still people are using it and claim it's the best device ever made.

And what BlackBerry has or does not have is no concern of mine, those always were silly little niche products, available only in the USA, not in the civilized world.

I tried swype and it is total crap, it cannot handle needed punctuation and it just kept on changing the words I typed to gibberish.
I do not understand why some people like it
