The back panel design, shape, and customizability reminds me a bit of the old Moto X that Motorola built while being owned by Google. Brings back some nostalgia.

I've been very impressed by the attention to detail Clicks puts into their products. It might be a niche but it seems like one that deserves to exist.

I submitted this as well and I think it capture something much deeper than the product itself. I think there is a market for Blackberry type of devices again. Not for messaging but for business.

Apple could have made an iPhone Mini with customised OS that does not cater for massive screen and social media entertainment.

But Apple is too focused on making money from services sector which is the App Store.

I'm hesitantly excited about this. On one hand, I've been wanting something like this for years and it's literally everything I want in a cell phone. On the other hand, this isn't the first time I've been hyped for a product like this and been burned. I'll be pessimistically optimistic

I'm more interested in the Comet - https://mecha.so/comet - as a thing to support in pre-order. They will be launching their Kickstarter soon, and the founder is very active and transparent on their Discord.

Sounds like a competitor to the Minimal Phone?

I'm surprised this is a thing. with the advances in STT I want the other extreme - a smaller and smaller device that leverages better voice control - super efficient inferencing chip on board and low power mic that's worn on your person to make said STT very very accurate (>95% word accuracy).

One of these running linux would be nice, but definitely not buying one to run Android.
