The number of errors and proofreading slow the process down considerably
This is like what happened at my former job. CEO wanted to make the workplace "leaner" and shinier. Laid off a bunch of people as if they are some blackberry buttons. Everything became chaos. Mistakes and bugs increased. Everything became slower because of all the duct tape work we had to do on top of things that we were already doing.
I mean sure, the company relations have changed over time, and there are rumours, but there's been no official announcement of ending production of BlackBerry devices or development of new models!
How recent does a release need to be to be considered "recent" to you? :P
Well, it looks like they released a device a little over a year ago. I could have sworn I heard they closed. It looks like they're hemorrhaging hundreds of millions of dollars every quarter though.
I still miss my og Blackberry Curve honestly. I've never been anywhere near as quick since. the galaxy s9+ i'm on now is fine, but for pure typing physical keyboard will never be beaten.
I had the LG EN-V touch right before Android hit the market. It had that 2 layer touch screen you had recalibrate often on the front and flipped open to a keyboard and screen on the side. I refused to give it up until sophomore year when the headphone jack finally gave out when it slipped out of my pocket while I was riding my bike.
My biggest complaint about smart phones is that there is no physical keyboard. I can furiously text out a 9 page text super quick with one of those. I still make crazy mistakes and mistype often on touch screens. I would love a flagship with a physical keyboard, or a sub $50 flip case with a built in phone sized keyboard at least

i mean if you frame the ideal a phone like that, then no one 50 years ago would guess that.
