Doing anything on mobile is always such a pathetically bad user experience

@sun i enjoy a handful of android apps these days. they are mostly for data collection though so their UIs are naturally simple enough.

@icedquinn touch keyboards suck dick

@sun @icedquinn This is why i use a titan pocket

@dcc @sun i tried to buy a titan and they wouldn't sell it to me

@icedquinn @dcc @sun
Is this company Russian? The facts that their website has only Russian and English languages, they suggest using Russian online stores and some key people have Russian names look *kinda* suspicious to me 🤨

@m0xee @dcc @sun i dunno and didn't really care. this was well before the ukraine shindig anyway.

@icedquinn @dcc @sun
It's not even about the political statement, there are reasons to stay away from Russian tech even if it's manufactures in Taiwan.
Just as Americans are often… alarmed about electronic equipment that offers security/privacy made in US — just a few days ago I was accused of being on "CIA instance"🤣(But why would a Russian person care about CIA?)

@m0xee @dcc @sun i want a phone with a keyboard. there's like 2 options.

@icedquinn @dcc @sun
In this form factor — probably yes, never dug into it, but if we're talking physical keyboard in broader sense, there is this: https://liliputing.com/phones/fxtec-pro1-x-specs/
There is Cosmo Communicator: https://www.www3.planetcom.co.uk/cosmo-communicator
I think there could be other options to choose from 🤷

@m0xee @dcc @sun i've been told the cosmo is trash

@icedquinn @dcc @sun
Can't tell, never had it. Might depend on your use cases. Besides, I expect it to be a day night difference in terms of usability when you use the Android it came with compared to when you put e.g. Ubuntu Touch on it — which I would probably do, or rather PostmarketOS even, don't see the point in having another Android device — but you might have other things in mind of course.
