So far, it appears the only thing I can get if I want a device that's even remotely modern is the Blackberry Priv, but I could be wrong, hence the question.My hard requirements (it's a dealbreaker without them):The keyboard, as mentioned in the topic.Decent app ecosystem (this eliminates all other BB devices)OS that still gets security updatesGood performance (the UI should not hitch and stutter under daily use)Supported on the Verizon networkSecondary concerns (nice to haves):Can be rooted/jailbrokenAt least a 1080p screenBattery life should last a full day under light useOS still gets feature updatesPrice no object; nearly any phone can be had via carrier discounts or secondhand.
Modern smartphone with a physical keyboard
keyboards;smartphones
The new Blackberry Priv runs Android and has a physical keyboard, 4K display, Snapdragon 808 and 3GB of ram (so it should not be slow).Its the closest thing from what you are looking for I guess.
