Clicks Communicator: Inside The Design
It's mostly marketing hype/fluff. Still interesting.
They said last month that by the end of this month we should have some kind of Hands-On with a working demo - looking forward to it!

I got that email update a few weeks ago and am so excited to see something real that's not all marketing. I mean, the marketing got me to pre-order one but I'm over that and ready to see real world progress.
My Minimal Phone is starting to be constraining in ways I hadn't anticipated and the Clicks is more of where I want to go from that.
I'm curious, what are some of those constraints that you hadn't anticipated?
I found I needed to take photos more often than I thought I would, and the camera on this is pretty garbo. Even if the camera were better, it's incredibly difficult with the e-ink screen so you kind of have to snap one and hope for the best.
My friend group has this group chat, and we share a lot of random pictures and videos. Videos are pretty much unwatchable, so I have to pause them every few seconds to do kind of a slide show to see what it is they sent. Pictures are a little better to make out, but sometimes they're just inscrutable on the e-ink. Reaction gifs are also kind of painful lol.
Those are the two biggest drawbacks I didn't anticipate. Otherwise, it's a great device.
I admire your optimism, despite the difficulties (seriously, I do!)
