Do you use a Blackberry Classic? <http://www.blackberry.com/classic> What do you think?
For me, a replaceable battery is a requirement, a real keyboard is merely very desirable, so I've got a Samsung Note4. I do miss the real keyboard of my old treo.
I have an iPhone 6 and have never really gotten on with virtual keyboards. Before 2007 I used Palms so kinda miss a 'real' keyboard. Thinking of returning to the fold. Purposefully don't want the Passport. Caveat: I will also have a iPad Mini for apps that I use frequently.
As someone has mentioned, a real external (bluetooth) keyboard for when you have to enter a lot of stuff can really help. The note has a pen, and some sort of handwriting recognition, that seems to work OK, though not quite like grafitti did.
What I'm currently using for most text input is swype, which I believe is also available for the IOS world. I'd suggest giving it a try, it works a lot better (for me) than the traditional virtual keyboard, though you can enter the characters for words that are not in the dictionary. It also works better with my phone's pen than with my finger, but I usually don't bother.
