The best cell phones I've had are BlackBerry devices. I prefer the Classic. The Android Priv was OK, but overheated and sometimes got stuck in boot loop. All have tactile keyboards.
The BB dedicated apps were excellent, including GPS. The Hub, BBM messaging, keyboard (repeating myself). I still connect my old ones to the internet and use them ones for net surfing, posting to FR, etc., as it's SO much faster than with the virtual keyboard. Many shortcuts are available so it's possible to be speedy.
The security was so good, even tech support people were unable to do remote access. (I think that one reason RIM stopped making them is because they were TOO secure; Big Brother couldn't spy.)
Since Hillary took great pains to smash all of hers, how bad can they be?
Several recent videos are online. Here's one:

I never liked the Blackberry.
I liked the Nokia 9300.
I still have my lilac Blackberry Curve. When support was ended, it bricked. I had pulled everything off of it long ago, but still, I was heartbroken. Man, I miss those days.
It even had a pull-out keypad with actual buttons.
