They already existed, no idea how many of them can be flashed to lineageos though.
Not sure why someone would want a physical keyboard either, no doubt there is a reason though.
I think a lot of people are put off by flashing their own phone, so providing the option to purchase this already degoogled would be nice.
I’m more interested in a non-smart phone that still has an on screen keyboard, they seem a bit rarer.
The existing ones were mostly budget models with cheap hardware and terrible software support. I miss the Nokia E71 which had a similar format, I rarely watch videos and typing on touch screen keyboards still sucks, so I would happily give up some screen real estate for a physical KB. I would love one of these, especially if it had semi-official Graphene support.
I’m happy enough with lineageos for now, I just see the possibility/probability of heading towards a non smart phone due to a fascist government… and because I am not that phone orientated anyway.

The blackberry key2, 8 years old can finally run lineage now in 2026… I am typing from this phone…
Then there waas nothing till unihertz came around and is locked.
And now we do have the clicks communicator which is more the influencer type and will be unlockable upon request and this.
But i hope you find a non smart phone… Is android go an option? A phone so slow it cant do stuff?
I had to finally let go of my Key2. Is it worth going back for lineage??
I cant test it sorry.
My key2 has a bad:
It just wants to go… I must let it… But only when i have a new keyboard phone
