Mmm. No.

You might be so young you don't remember that first mobile phones had only HWKBD for typing, and no touchscreen whatsoever whether resistive, capacitive or inductive.

I think you misunderstood Kinggo. I doubt that he is denying that HWKBs existed before touch screens, I think he just meant that resistive screens have been used for typing before being systematically associated with HWKBs, or before they were replaced by capacitive screens.

Well, I thought it was obvious that I'm talking about PDAs and such. Obviously, it wasn't obvious that just numeric HWK is not what we are talking about. I don't think that anyone here is craving for a smartphone with just numbers on HWK.

My newtons had a on screen keyboard, which I used when ever I didn't want to write something via written recognition. My Zaurus had a on screen keyboard which I used when I did want to use the hdwkb.

In EU are at the moment 38 phones with resistive screen listed (https://geizhals.at/?cat=umtsover&xf...uk&hloc=eu&v=e
For this forum most interesting might be the information that Nikolaus Schaller who is one of those doing the pyra project works currently on the pyra phone which (i suppose) will also have resistive screen as the pyra will have.

sorry, but how are 10-15 years old phones relative to the topic of why we don't have/need/want resistive screens today?

Yes all those listed on whatever page that is are EOL.
I doubt there are any on the market currently.

You are right, most current models listed here are from 2011.
So this type of screen is actually deprecated anyway.
