It's all about how you hold it... you gotta hold it like you do any bigger touchscreen device.. more like a cradle. You don't hold it in the "prayer" position like old short BB phones. Small adjustment but if ya hold it right it's all good! :)
Different era - his was a two piece design, on a tiny iPhone 5 where there was a homescreen button that he covered... and they intentionally tried to turn the iPhone into a BB (where they infringded on design). This is a different beast. Also... BlackBerry sold off all their keyboard patents. All good.. legal was obviously the first thing we looked into on this project.
Wow, that’s a great idea! I’m eagerly waiting for older iPhone models like the iPhone 13, 11, or 12 mini. It would be wonderful if you could design a keyboard app like the BlackBerry keyboard app, which provides word suggestions and predictions even when using a physical keyboard. Good luck.
Guessing it will be awhile (if ever) before my iPhone 12 mini is supported, so here's my suggestion. Do a Limited Founders Edition for all future devices (i.e. iPhone 16, 17)? Half tempted to buy one of these just to have the limited edition but can't justify spending the money on one that I'll never have a phone to match (upgrading this fall to the 16)
Hmm cool...I guess...for apple. Question, is this a test market that will decide expansion to other phones? Not sure apple users would represent needs of other phone users.
We're leaving the door open. When you go into Android there's sooo many models it can get hard to support (tough biz model), but not closed to it. Will have to see where demand is at.
Holy Shit!!! This is amazing 👍😎🔥
Anxious to see a video on the Pro Max. As soon as I’m reassured it won’t be too top heavy I’m in!! Take my 💰

Well I’m sure I’ll figure it out, I am very familiar with the BlackBerry prayer OR I just get the smaller Pro because Clicks is where it’s at!
Great news. I tried to fill in the reservation option for iPhone 14 Pro Max but the page errors out.
"Page not found

I had a bad link on my CrackBerry article... should be good now!
This link will take you right there: https://clickstech.typeform.com/reservations
Thank you. ✔
Awesome 👌
Didn't Ryan Secrest try this about 10yrs ago and it got shut down for patent infringement?
Indeeed, but that was a complete design ripoff of the late BB keyboard

Awesome and thank you. Best of both worlds now!!

This IS amazing news. Just placed an order for a keyboard! 🙌
Thanks, Dave!! Excited to get your feedback.

Why not clicks for android?
answered above. Not saying no to it! Just more of a when does it make biz sense to do it question/problem to solve for.
Great that there will be a keyboard phone again.
But not this, it have the looks of a kids toy.
I'd say it looks fun, edgy, and not like an old BB... which was the way to introduce a product like this to the market.
What I'm hearing you say is you want a black edition model :)
I have ordered two 🫣
One of them for a 14, just because it will ship earlier and I can not wait to see it…
Amazing!!
Niiiice! Looks amazing - hope it comes at some point to the Samsung Galaxy lineup 👌👍
