the nuggets of the future

hey i love my blackberry nugget
small size, nugget-shaped and hardware QWERTY keyboard (my favourite).

but it's ancient. it runs blackberry os 6, requires a blackberry-specific data plan, and it's just impossible to use for, say, encrypted messaging with signal or the like.

other nugget-enthusiasts such as myself can't find a nugget phone suitable for this modern age, so we have to use ancient nuggets.

but interestingly enough, one manufacturer has come to our aid. unihertz.

most phones nowadays, they're just tall glass/metal/plastic slabs. and often quite large. and thick. some just feel like highly advanced stone tablets (cough cough, samsung galaxy a72, cough cough).

unihertz doesn't conform to this trend, it seems. they have phones like the Jelly, which is just a very small smartphone. but what piques my interest is their Titan line. the only phones (afaik) after the blackberry key2 (that's when blackberry died as a smartphone brand) to incorporate a hardware keyboard. they have three Titan phones. the Titan, which appears to be the spiritual successor to the blackberry passport (though it's missing the sleek blackberry passport look, and it's just rugged now). the Titan pocket, just a smaller Titan. and the Titan slim, which is basically a rugged blackberry key2.

if i actually had money, i would honestly just ditch my phone and grab a unihertz nugget. with no hesitation. i need that hardware QWERTY keyboard. that is, if i had money. i'm broke.
