My favorite cel phone of all time is still my old Danger Hiptop/Sidekick. The flip screen that opened to reveal the full QWERTY keyboard? Magnificent. It was a sad day in your Uncle Kingdom's life when that phone died. I've been using the Apple iPhone (first the 3G and now the 4) for the last almost three years... but it just ain't the same. But now, a ray of light shines down from the heaven that is ThinkGeek.com.
Introducing the TK-421 (HA! Star Wars reference!) Flip-Out Keyboard for the iPhone. Look at that thing! It's gorgeous... and I must have one. An actual physical keyboard is, at least for me, vastly more desirable than a purely touchscreen device, but I've never liked Blackberrys. The TK-421 connects via Bluetooth rather than by any kind of docking connection, which worries me as far as battery usage goes, but if it operates half as well as it looks, this could create cel phone nirvana.
The TK-421 is currently on sale for $40. I'll let you know if it's any good.

Hey isn't the TK-421 the HI-FI unit modification Buck Swope (Don Cheadle) was trying so hard to sell in Boogie Nights. "You get twice the base with the TK-421" Is this a coincidence?
I think you're right! Ha! That is hilarious. I love little inside references like that. Speaking of Buck Swope... would you be willing to go through the donut store robbery if there were a paper bag full of money waiting for you at the end of it?
