Hey there! I plan on switching back to a dumbphone once my current phone bites the dust, which will be sooner rather than later. I am on Xfinity for bundling purposes, and I definitely want a full qwerty keyboard, preferably slide. What are my options right now, that would be under the 500 dollar range? I'm totally open to blackberrys, too!
All I will be wanting it for is text and calling, but having navigation is nice, too.

Not a lot of options in the physical keyboard space. At the moment, you can wait for the Minimal Phone though there’s a good chance it’ll never ship.
There’s no physical keyboard, but the LightPhone III is coming out in the winter. Having used the LightPhone II for over a year, I can say that these people have really thought out the dumb phone experience. It’s a premium product for sure. My biggest complaints with the LPII involved the slow response of the eink display, and the LPIII should fix that by switching to amoled.

Do you happen to know if the lightphone has a replaceable battery?
NVM the 2 does not, the 3 not sure.

You can look into the Unihertz Titan series (I haven't tried them myself tho)
