Dec 1, 2013 — http://www.theverge.com/2013/11/15/5104704/i-come-not-to-praise-qwerty-but-to-bury-it There is a number of articles i read in the past on the potential future of QWERTY smartphones, but none was as much to the point as this one is. I fully agree, the real reason why there sees to be 'no market' for such phones is simply because there were no top-spec phones with physical keyboard launched since more than 3 years ! For sure, a HTC One or Galaxy S4 or Xperia Z with physical keyboard would fine a big number of customers, as long as the extra cost for the keyboard are reasonable, of course. Anyhow, i just received message from Tomas Prochazka, the inventor of the SIM card mod for the Motorola Photon Q, that my 3 phones which i sent to him are ready modded, and will be in the post back to me on Monday. My plan is to use one of the three for myself, keep one as a backup and sell the third phone on ebay, to recover some of my cost for the action. Stay tuned !
