If I remember correctly the first android phones were supposed to be keypad phones, and only the launch of the iPhone made them change course.

I remember some phones came with a keypad, but they disappeared quite quickly.

Watching the first part with Sergey Brin is a punch in the gut man... Why did Android have to end like this?

God it makes me feel old to hear youngins not even be able to quote recent history correctly.

Android launched with a keyboard.
