Theres a growing demand for physical keyboards on their devices

Where is this growing demand? I also see one or two people in the comments like this, and I get that you may want it, but I’ve seen no reports indicating it’s anything but extremely niche.

On a side note, which keyboard software do you use on your phone? Maybe that’s the problem.

Most of the people I know and chat with would choose a device with a physical keyboard if they had the option. Theres plenty of ‘niche’ groups that agree, which probably outnumber the actual Nokia userbase by a lot. When was the last time you have actually seen a Nokia device yourself? Also, have you ever actually used a phone with a physical keyboard?

A variety of third party applications to input text is definitely not an additional attack vector to worry about.

Ive used many in my time Swiftkey was they only one I really ever likedbutMicrosoft’boughtthenm so that’s the end of that. I stick with the stock graphene os keyboard.

That seems like a likely issue. A bad software keyboard can absolutely ruin your experience. I use swiftkey (used to be fleksy, but that’s been effectively abandoned) but just prevent it from connecting to the internet.
