I had two BlackBerry devices for work, right about the time they were going away. I'd heard the keyboard was good on earlier models but it seemed like the quality had gotten pretty cheap on the later phones. The BlackBerry 10 OS on my last phone was actually pretty good, and probably would've kept them in the market if they'd launched it 5 years earlier.

Check out Unihertz. Can’t offer any advice or if they’re good, but they look interesting.

Keyboard feels great to use but their current layout sucks majorly

I'm very satisfied with mine. Some UI tweeks were required to adapt to the small screen.
