I'd love to try these new phones. My current phone (Google Fold) is terrible. However
1. google pixels are the best android devices AFAICT. Not a high bar, but that's that.
2. due to the prevalence of spam and scam calls: Not having an AI call filtering is a no-go. google pixel's have a really nice call screen.
Course we could have a competent government that would do something about scams (besides encouraging and supporting them). Then small business could actually compete. But the best we get is a rapist and scam artist.
Can someone explain the appeal of the swappable keypad? I really see no advantage in having this. Just seems like extra engineering for no real reason.
Easy repairability is good too. (I was going by their own "Specifications" that said battery is "non-removable" - https://archive.md/Ngoxu ). I would buy this phone if my banking app is able to run on it.

wonder how things are going with the Clicks keyboard and Communicator.

DOA. We need more feature phones running custom firmware. Or Linux phones. What Jolla is doing with Sailfish is nice.
Stop leaning on Android. It's unnecessary baggage. Divest.
