I think what made people choose Bearblog was the fact that it’s run by a human being and not a big corporation, its plan for longevity and the care that it’s being put in it. Those things couldn’t be simply copied. -

A month ago @CannibalisticApple posted a topic asking advice about designing a slide-out phone case with a keyboard and, coincidentally, today this video was posted where a phone with this form factor was built starting from a broken Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. Personally, I don't really like the final product, but I've enjoyed the whole procedure!

Both are Italian products that I love, but I don’t know how well they could be understood by foreigners, especially the first one.
Staying in the USA, Community and Arrested Development are gold.

It depends on what features are important to you. While I think phones with keyboard are aesthetically more appealing, it’s not necessary to return to this kind of design in order to do innovation.
What I’d like to see is a more choice of smaller devices. My phone is literally a brick, it weighs a lot and it’s hard to use with one hand. Unfortunately, if people keep using the phone as a one-stop shop device that won’t change, because even if you are able to somehow reduce the size of batteries you still need large screens. So, personally an innovation would be making a modern phone intended to be used as a phone and not a small tablet.
