If you’ve ever caught yourself tapping away at your smartphone’s touchscreen and wished it were a physical keyboard from the days when BlackBerry was popular, we’ve got just the phone for you.

It first provided these powers to other manufacturers a few years back, though South Africans weren’t able to join in on the fun.
