I use one handed mode on my phone all the time because the damn thing is so fucking big. I can't even reach the toolbar with my baby hands. I had no choice but to buy this one cause it was the only one with decent battery in my price range. If I didn't have a purse it'd be impossible to carry it's like a brick in my pocket. It strains my wrist a little from it's sheer weight. Wtf is going on

I tried replacing my phone with gpd ultra portable notebooks but it just doesn't work. I have one of the most recent phones with a sliding keyboard (that wasn't vaporware) and they're basically useless today since I can't get service with it.

Yeah it sucks. Once in a while I do a search to see if anyone is making a functional phone with a slideout keyboard and it's always some upcoming phone that's ridiculously expensive and has a sketchy vibe.

I just want to feel the buttons, man...
