With the tide of large screen full touch smart phones represented by Apple and Samsung sweeping the world, the two giants firmly occupy the top two positions in the smart phone market, whether it was BlackBerry, the former king of the North American smart phone market, or Motorola, which was once keen on Android full keyboard models HTC， They gradually gave up the idea of QWERTY full keyboard. After the WebOS, the main slider full keyboard, stopped updating, all the challengers of the smartphone system without exception chose the full touch operation mode. Whether it is Windows Phone, Ubuntu or Firefox OS, the large screen full touch operation mode has become irreversible. Today, we will take you to count the classic full keyboard models that accompanied us in those years.

Blackberry:

When it comes to QWERTY, of course, the most familiar one is the famous but slightly mysterious Blackberry. Blackberry has always been unknown in China, but few people have actually used Blackberry. Once upon a time, BlackBerry was also the king of smart phones in North America, but with the rise of iOS and Android, the slow transformation of BlackBerry gradually lost most of the market, and the enterprise market was also in jeopardy. Recently, Cheng Shouzong, CEO of BlackBerry, said that if BlackBerry still cannot make profits next year, it will consider giving up its mobile phone business. Today, let's review some classic BlackBerry models.

This 7290 should be the first to enter the public's view. Its wide shape is like a full QWERTY keyboard on the surface of strawberries. It has a very good feel. 7290 adopts a 65K color semi reflective TFT screen with a resolution of 240 * 160, and has 32MB Flash Memory and 4MB SRAM.

The BlackBerry 8310 is a star model. In the early American TV series, we often saw the 83XX and 88XX BlackBerry models. The 8310 uses a 2.4 inch 260000 color TFT screen. Although the 83XX no longer uses a semi reflective screen, it still has a good display effect in the sun. If you saw a shining "white pearl" in American TV dramas before 2010, then yes, this is the Blackberry.

The BlackBerry 9000 can be regarded as a milestone model in the history of BlackBerry, and is the most classic business phone of BlackBerry. Its classic shape, textured leather back cover, and unparalleled keyboard feel make it a benchmark for smart phones. As the most classic model with the appearance of BlackBerry, BlackBerry 9000 frequently appears in street photos of various stars, and taking BlackBerry street photos has become a fashion.

The 9810 represents an attempt by BlackBerry to diversify. As people become more interested in touch screen phones, BlackBerry has also begun to try to make some "cross-border" models. The 9810 is one of them. The 9810 uses a 3.2 inch TFT touch screen without giving up the full keyboard. Although it does not fundamentally change the interaction mode of Blackberry OS, it is at least an attempt of Blackberry.

In addition to the slide full keyboard, BlackBerry also comes with another form of full keyboard - 9670. As a customized CDMA model, the 9670 can only be used in the form of "card burning", so few domestic "geek" users are lucky to use it.

As time came to 2013, BlackBerry finally released the full keyboard model Q10 again, which adopted a 3.1 inch 720 × 720 screen, a dual core 1.5Ghz CPU, 2G RAM, and 16G ROM, and finally kept up with the pace of "modern mobile phones" in hardware configuration. As the first full keyboard model equipped with the BB10 system, the performance of the Q10 is actually not satisfactory. Under the new system, the full keyboard is not very useful except for text input.

PassPort, as the most powerful BlackBerry model ever configured, has a 4.5-inch 1440 × 1440 display screen with a ppi of 453 and a brightness of up to 894 nits. It can also have a good display effect in strong outdoor light. Snapdragon 800+3G RAM configuration also keeps up with the mainstream configuration of the same era.

  PALM:

Treo 650 is a classic model launched by PALM in 2006 and equipped with Palm OS v5.4 operating system. Speaking of Palm OS, many people may not be familiar with it. Only those old players who have experienced the era of PDA will have some understanding of Palm. Palm Computing Company was founded by Jeff Hawkins in Silicon Valley of the United States in January 1992. Its goal is to design a portable computer that is lightweight and convenient for written tests. After years of experience in the era of PDA, Palm OS was very mature at that time. In addition to the ARM architecture Intel PX270 processor equipped with Tero 650, Tero 650 represented the highest level at that time in terms of graphics processing, database management, mobile office, voice and video and other multimedia.

Compared with its predecessor 650, the Treo 680 has made a qualitative leap in appearance. The lack of a huge external antenna has freed Palm from its huge and bulky image, fashionable appearance, and beautiful colorful shell. The Treo 680 is the most attractive mobile phone produced by Palm and is very popular with users.

WebOS:

Pixi&Veer are two models with good appearance. Pixi is the only model with straight full keyboard in WebOS, and the back cover with various colors&patterns can be replaced. Veer was not only the world's smallest full keyboard mobile phone, but also the world's smallest smartphone at that time. It was affectionately called "Xiaowei" by fat pear fans.

Pre3 is one of the most powerful WebOS models, but its ambition has not been fulfilled yet. HP announced to abandon the WebOS project shortly after the launch of the Pre3 and Veer. The ambitious Pre3 was also sold at a low price. The Pre3 has a 3.6 inch 480 × 800 resolution display screen, uses a 1.4Ghz high pass 8655 processor and 512M RAM, and runs WebOS 2.2 system. Unlike iOS and Android, WebOS does not have the Home button or virtual three buttons, but uses a gesture area at the bottom of the screen to operate left and right, which is bold and advanced in design. It is worth mentioning that WebOS is the first mobile phone system to adopt card based background and sliding operation. The card based background of Android and iOS is more or less like WebOS. At the same time, the Pre3 is also one of the first devices to support wireless charging. Everyone must have heard of Palm's famous "touchstone". The slide of the Pre3 feels good, but like other slide phones, the slide will become loose after a certain period of time, resulting in a seesaw phenomenon.

Nokia:

In addition to these common full keyboard designs, Nokia has also launched a unique design of the full keyboard mobile phone - E70, please forgive me for not knowing how to describe this design, because it is like this... Please feel Nokia's imagination.

E61 is an early Nokia mobile phone with a straight full keyboard, which can be regarded as the ancestor of Nokia full keyboard models. Its square appearance has the pure business style of that era. Even if you are not a business person, it will be cool to have such a mobile phone in hand. If there is any regret about E61, it may be that there is no camera, but in the distant 2006, this is not a big problem.      

In 2009, Nokia launched a full keyboard mobile phone that can rotate - 7705. It is a CDMA mobile phone, a 2.4 inch QVGA resolution TFT screen, and a 3 megapixel camera. For the first time, the mobile phone has a rotary full keyboard design. The round square shape is also very cute when the slide is not opened. Unfortunately, this phone is only equipped with the S40 system, which is not a smart phone.

If any mobile phone can only be described as "machine king", the Nokia E90 must be well deserved. In 2007, Nokia launched this dual screen, side flip, full keyboard phone, which uses the S60 V3 system. The outer screen is a 2.0 inch TFT true color screen, and the inner screen is a 4-inch TFT screen with a resolution of 800 × 352 and 16 million colors. The dual screen, dual keyboard dual operation mode, the outer screen is similar to the operation mode of ordinary S60 phones, while the inner screen has more powerful editing functions, Built in QuickOffice can process Word, Excel and other documents smoothly, and it was a well deserved business flagship at that time. Unlike other flip phone spindles, the E90 adopts a dual spindle design. After the user opens it to a certain angle, the lower spindle will "click" once to rotate to 90 degrees. The user can continue to rotate the upper spindle to adjust the angle.

E71 You may not have experienced the era of E61, but mobile phone players with a little experience will be familiar with this E71. The compact appearance, exquisite metal body, excellent keyboard feel and the convenience of the full keyboard, the 3.2 megapixel camera was also outstanding in that era, all of which made E71 popular, and deserved to be the most popular full keyboard phone of Nokia.

The E6 is a mobile phone with a touch screen and a full keyboard. The E6 has a 2.46-inch 640 × 480 screen and 325 ppi. In the era when people didn't pay much attention to ppi, the display effect of this screen was really exquisite. The configuration of ARM11 and 256M RAM is smooth enough for Symbiana., The 8 megapixel camera was also outstanding at that time. As Nokia's first straight keyboard+touch model, E6 has become the last classic of Nuoki full keyboard.

An Zhuo:

As the originator of Android, G1 HTC has also launched several Android full keyboard phones, and G1 is one of the typical representatives. As the first mobile phone in the world to use Android system, full keyboard+trackball has a little flavor of Blackberry control. G1 has a 3.17 inch TFT display screen, HVGA 480 × 320 resolution, and Qualcomm 7201 is used in the configuration, 192M RAM 256M ROM, 3.1 megapixel camera. The G1 trackball has the same problem as the BlackBerry's, and after too much use, it will become yellow, dirty, and even lose sensitivity. HTC abandoned the trackball on G2 and used an optical touch panel instead.

Motorola Milestone is just like its name. Milestone is a symbol of Motorola's rise again. Motorola, which lost most of its market share in 2010, has regained popularity in the market by virtue of its milestone sales. The combination of full keyboard and touch screen on the side and aggressive business appearance are very popular with users. However, Motorola did not get rid of the fate of being acquired. In August 2011, Google announced the acquisition of Motorola Mobile.

ME511 Motorola launched a mobile phone with a rotating full keyboard similar to the Nokia 7705 in 2010. It uses the Android 2.1 operating system, has a 2.8 inch 320 × 240 resolution screen, and uses Texas Instruments OMAP3410 processor and 512M RAM. The configuration is relatively low. But with its novel appearance and handsome rotating full keyboard, who cares about the configuration.

ChaCha may be that many Android users are not familiar with this straight full keyboard Android. ChaCha was launched by HTC in 2011. There is a special Facebook button in the lower right corner, which can be pressed to start Facebook, and the mainland version is changed to a special Sina Weibo button. There are some bends in the middle of the fuselage, which is ergonomic and more comfortable to hold. Although ChaCha's market response is not very successful, and the adaptation of many applications is not perfect, HTC has brought us some different attempts.
