Typo2 makes iPhone 6 Blackberry-ish

SINGAPORE - Less than a day after Blackberry launched the Classic in New York, Typo Keyboards has announced that the Typo2 keyboard for iPhone 6 is now available in Singapore.

So, if you upgraded recently to an iPhone 6 and want a physical keyboard for the phone, you can now get one. It'll probably make a great Christmas gift for that iPhone 6-toting loved one too.

Typo said in a statement today that the Typo2 layout matches closely that of the iOS virtual keyboard and desktop-computer keyboards, making transition to the Typo2 easy.

However, the Typo2 is only available for the iPhone 6 (and iPhone 5 or 5S). If you're using a iPhone 6 Plus, you're out of luck.

The Typo2 for iPhone 6, selling at $179, is currently available in Singapore at retailers like ante@Tangs Orchard, Digital Style, EpiCentre, EpiLife, istudio, and nubox.
