Discipline yourself before buying a new device.

How many lashes must I give myself before I buy this phone?

I love it. Finally some innovation. Now make it incapable of instagram and TikTok and other invasive social media crap and we might have the winner for the next decade. As if :(

do you have so little agency that you can't stop yourself from installing TikTok?

what will stop you then from keeping your existing TikTok phone after buying this?

Uhhh judgey…

You do you. It was ment as a glimmer of hope for society at large.

ah, sorry, you just want to control what apps other people can use
LunicLynx 1/2/2026||
I think you misunderstood. My point was: This would be a great device if there wasn’t a need for it to support these apps.

And because of this it’s just another android phone. And it fails (will) because the screen ratio does not work for those apps.

This would be awesome if it would just be that a „communicator“ meaning a device that allows to communicate.

Think remarkable vs all the other e-ink android tablets.

Education is the hope we need, not yet another "innovative", centrally controlled device.

Agreed. Most people still don't see the gamification built into everyday products and apps.

Innovation?
analogpixel 1/2/2026||
re-innovation; it'll be one the first first phones in 20 years to have an actually different form factor than, "rectangular screen"
LunicLynx 1/2/2026||
Exactly. And I would love a phone that commits to be a „communicator“, eg. optimizing the simplicity of talking, instead of a consumption device.

Marketed as "for doing" and not "for doomscrolling" but if it can host any Android app then what's really the distinction? Seems like at the end of the day it's a discipline thing regardless of the device, unless you truly have a "dumb" phone that is unable to install doomy apps

Consumption is probably rather not gun on a 4" square screen.

I may eventually get one of these just to use with Claude code. Been looking for the lightest best machine to use with agents.
vosper 1/2/2026||
Maybe dictation is the way to go? It’s a quick way to interact with agents and works really well.

Shellfish on iOS to ssh into a vps with tmux with Gemini-cli, lazygit and neovim worked quite well for me.

The clicks keyboard does not have ctrl, arrows, page up, down or really any special keys so I’m not sure it would be that much more pleasant. I know iOS keyboard has been quite meh in the recent releases but for thumb typing I’m not convinced that physical keyboard are superior.

Nothing beats N900 typing experience. Change my mind.

HTC Touch Pro 2 running Windows Mobile. I remember writing a 4,000 word essay on it for a magazine, mostly while travelling to and from my summer job.

I bought their Clicks phone case for iPhone and was very disappointed. The keyboard was dismal to type on and slowed me down significantly.

If they're using the same keyboard in this phone, it won't be of interest to me.

The comma is behind the m. I hate it. Why can’t we have the basic punctuation up front.
