Who thinks there will be an iPhone slider phone?

[poetryrocksalot]

of course the iPhone would have a keyboard...who thinks this will happen within the next 10 years (2009-2019) for the iPhone line of phones?

Edit: When I said "of course the iPhone would have a keyboard" I meant that if the iPhone was a slider a phone, than of course I am talking about an iPhone with a qwerty keyboard...not a dial pad....not like an N95 but something more like a Touch Pro

as a follower, they should prepare to have it :p

i doesnt really matter even if they attach some xtrange keyboard is just one thing i never but never matters to me :D :D :D

[SyntheticDistortion]

I don't think there will be a slider phone from Apple, simply becaise the designs of the Iphone won't allow sliding extras. The design of the phone was always based on looking solid and out of one piece, like it's the case with the Imac, Iphone and Ipod. I rest my case:)

[orelsi]

Even if they do, it will still be crap. Anyways, I don't believe there will be iPhails in 2019.............

EDIT: It looks like in my blind hatred I forgot to answer the question.

I think it is the next logical step. iPhail users can be easily satisfied, but many people have switched to devices with a physical keyboard. Pre, Xperia, N97 and so forth offer much more flexibility and I will not even mention the endless stream of messaging phones. I bet that crApple will try to tap that market and the only way to do that is to add a keyboard. Advancements in haptics will not compensate for the lack of one.

Haha look at this:

Same here +1

[Diagrax]

Iphone will never have a hardware keyboard because they're all abut touch and so on plus the iphone looks boring in design since they all look alike i bet the only difference between the iphones now and the distant future ones will be the thickness.

[CraZyLiLbOy]

Yup I dont think so neither

Really

The concept of Iphone does not allow additions or protruding parts. Besides, the latest trends indicate shift towards keyless or full qwerty full touch large screen devices and Iphone is already there. They will improve functions and OSX, adding a video call and other gadgety things, but will not add a keyboard in any shape or form. They don't even want an external one used, that's something to ponder.
In 10 years we won't even remember Iphone, we'll have the next best thing - a cellphone inbuilt into our brans with calls made by voice and answered by blinking twice or pulling on the ear. Or better still - we'll genetically modify our future progeny to be born with a cellphone already growing in the brain and attached to the eye, so that any e-mails, txt messages, photos and movies are downloaded and viewed automatically and video calls can be made clicking your tongue :p

Yeah, and what about the ROM's for our brains :D :D

"Hey man, how are you, I just flashed my head with the latest ROM from XDA-Brain developers, now I have 3 eyes :D"

LOL!
I have an extra arm with that ROM! probably I have not configured in the proper way... I want my extra eye not an arm:D:D

Now you are just being silly - STAY AWAY FROM BETA RELEASES!!!! :D

'Why are you blinking with only one eye?' 'Tomal released a new beta for my brain, I am testing and posting bug report'

minor inconveniences.


back on topic... the IPhone will probably never receive a built in keyboard. but i am sure small external ones will appear eventually with Bluetooth being opened up.

[JRK-Scope]

Apple will likely release an overly expensive bluetooth keyboard that the masses will buy because it looks good and works only with the iPhone.

Doubtful , Apple doesn't do accessories, not enough of a profit margin.

They are more likely to come out with a tablet that makes phone calls.

The number of iPhail threads lately is concerning....

then i bet the fact that XDA-developers.com owns Iphone-developers.com must be really unsettling.

More than agree with this!

[galaxys]

yep, the iphone is like a spreading virus :eek:

Doubtful, one person owns XDA as far as I know.

The genius that is Apple marketing. When you can get hardcore WinMo enthusiasts on the most hardcore WinMo follower's site on the net, to start 50+ threads about the iPhone, you know you've won.

I also have an iPhone, and no one on the iPhone boards gives WinMo a second thought, much less 50+ threads, going on and on and on ad nauseum about WinMo this and WinMo that.

[orb3000]

You have a very solid point here mate.
I have to leave aside my personal toughts about iphoney and say I am agree...

SPAM is not the answer. We can read all about the iPhone, but whether we'll be tempted to buy one is a very different story.

That's because they are closed minded.
