Phone Rant! My 2013 Galaxy Stratosphere 2 is finally starting to die.

I've had this phone since it was brand new. Up till very recently, it worked fine, and it had what I needed: It was durable, small, and had a full keyboard... I don't even need a case for it.

I'm going to have to buy a new phone, now. I do not want one. I despise pretty much all of the newer models- none of them that I can get at the Verizon store have a physical keyboard, they're all touchscreens. They all seem extremely fragile, way too thin, and why are they all so big? I have big pockets, and the last one I looked at couldn't even fit.

This is precisely why I held on to this phone for so long: All the newer options are horrible.

Blackberry Key 2 has a physical keyboard, but it's apparently not a great one for typing on, unfortunately.
