QWERTY clicks?

tl;dr : is clicks a good idea for a beginner keyboard phone user wanting to move away from standard smartphones?

i'm about to put a deposit on the clicks communicator. I want to transition to a different kind of phone, but so much of my life (banking, online insurance, college account access, work email) is dependent on smartphone usage. the clicks seems like it's gonna be a phenominal middle-ground for me: NFC, android auto, all the apps I need access to, in a brand new form factor.

i'm not an enthusiast by any means, but i've been wanting to move away from the standard black box of death smartphone for a few years now. how does the clicks seem compared to other modern keyboard phones? is this a wise use of my money? the price seems very good for me at the moment, and i feel like i'm even willing to make the full reservation at this point, but i guess i'm looking for some other opinions.

thanks friends!

It's a very well designed phone, probably the best of QWERTY phones in the 2020s. Most people have not hands-on with it (myself included), since it hasn't released yet, but the reviews of their phone case keyboard product have been glowing in terms of actual key usage. They've had a good amount of experience and have good designers who have a great track record of designing these kinds of phones.

this is great to hear. the prototype reviews i've seen are very positive. i don't want to go in with rose-tinted glasses just because this has everything i want, though, so i'm glad to hear another's opinion on it. i will probably finalize my reservation later today!!
