I am an Android Nerd, but it was not always like that. If you get into the Wayback machine with me, you will find me using a cheap blackberry and supplied by work. When I changed work and I couldn’t transport one, I got out and I bought one.
It was a device ahead of his time and I was addicted. When Android came out, I also bought a T-Mobile G1 And transported two phones for a while because my blackberry curve was just … better. They were not better constructed; They weren’t faster or more effective, and there were no incredible games. However, Blackberry was the king of communication with people because of this keyboard.
Android & Chill
One of the oldest technological columns on the web, Android & Chill is your Saturday discussion on Android, Google and All Things Tech.
Android finally took his way in his own way, and I stopped using my faithful Old Blackberry. I flirted with the wedding of the two with the BlackBerry Priv and Key2 (such big phones), but I had to move on and discover the new offers from other companies. This does not mean that I do not miss this little experience of screen / physics keyboard, however, and the new click keyboard for Android could be the best way to come back to what I like.
Before going further, I must mention that I have a personal relationship with Michael Fisher (Mr. Mobile) and Kevin Michaluk (Crackberry Kevin), the founders of Clicks. That’s not why I want one for my Motorola Razr, however, and I did not even ask for an early model, so I have to wait until May.
It is not a sponsored article either, and I do not drive in this way; I would never deal with people I know, no matter how much I want their product.
It’s just Jerry being a fanboy of a new product. I want one because I think it’s so cool and could let me use my phone as I like to use my phone. At least, I hope this will be the case.
I am not a big guy of accessories. I know it’s a bit strange from a person working in a place that speaks to you and recommends the best accessories for your phone. I don’t even use a screen protector. If you told me that I would be enthusiastic by a phone case last week, I would have laughed. I thought that the cases of initial clicks were cool, but they were only made for iPhones, which I never intend to buy.
It has changed now that clicks have announced that it was making them to Real phonesLike Android phones, the Galaxy S25, Pixels 9 and 9 Pro and the 2024 RAZR Plus. And yes, it works for the razr “less”, according to Click on the website. I’m absolutely now.
A physical keyboard is a quick way to polarize Android users. There does not seem to be common ground; Either you love them, or you think they are stupid, clumsy and old -fashioned. It’s a good thing because everyone should understand what they like and don’t like. If you have not already guessed, I am in the camp “Love them”.
I think it is because of the way I use my phone. For me, my phone is the best way to communicate with the people who are close to my heart. I send a message to friends and family on three different continents, and for me, the smartphone was the best invention of the 20th century.
I know I can use Gboard to do everything I could do (and more) with a physical keyboard because I do it now. Or I could install another keyboard if I wanted. Believe me when I tell you it’s not the same thing and can never be. This tactile feeling of a key under your thumb is something that progress in haptic comments can never reproduce.
A keyboard case clicks on my Moto Razr will also allow me to use the front screen more. Right now, it’s just a way to see the time and the weather because I will not try to use an application on this small screen with my fingers. I know I can do much more, but I I can’t do much more. An extension of the keyboard can change this, and my razr can turn into the modern equivalent of my blackberry curve, being executed a lot Best software. And if I need the biggest screen, I can turn this suction cup and do everything I have to do. Devil, even I Sometimes play games on my phone.
Most of the two billion Android users will not care or will not be interested in what clicks offer, although I hope that the company will do well enough to offer the case for even more Android phones. This includes Pixel 8a because my wife was also a blackberry fan, and she likes her little green pixel.
Now I have to play the waiting game until my order ships. I hope this is up to my unrealistic expectations or at least brings me closer to what I really want.
