My daughter the other day told me she misses her HTC phone. I got it for her when she was in her early teens and she could text like lightning with that thing.
There’s a company called Unihertz that sells a line of keyboard Android phones similar to the last batch of Blackberry models. I know it’s not slider phones but they are inexpensive.
There is also Planet Computers which makes sliding Qwerty phones but they are expensive.
Prices look decent at a glance as well.
I miss my BB keyboard something fierce.
