Battery replacement must be 'easily' achieved by consumers

well... it's a flip phone. It has multiple remappable buttons, usb c, headphone jack, nano sim, sd card. I imagine you could change the form factor a bit to reduce the size.

Despite I don't need a second feature phone (only smartphone because I need some apps) and I don't talk that much anyway (sometimes even 0 hours/month), but I still sometimes have the urge to buy a rugged flip, just for the sake of it, be it Moto Tundra or this one.

I really wish there were more smartphones with physical keyboards. I'd like to be able to use something with good battery life and a full qwerty keyboard. Realistically I don't need a lot of apps on a phone. I really need the authenticator apps though, and I'd like easy access to telegram/MMS/element.

I like the intentionality you have when you type with a physical keyboard. Been focusing on UIs as of late and think we lose something when our interfaces are purely digital.
