The Titan 2 Elite seems to be a less gimmicky version of the Titan 2

They just had to announce it after I ordered the one with all the "bizarre" gimmicks.

Yes, please!

The Titan 2 Elite looks awesome though it appears to be just a render right now. I was looking at the original Titan a while back but it was pretty dated even then. Gonna keep an eye out for the Elite.

The phone will come powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor, have 12GB of RAM, and 512GB of internal storage. There is no word on the display or the battery, but going by the previous release, it should be an AMOLED screen, and the battery should be 5,000mAh. Neither is there any word about the release timeline, pricing, or other features of the device right now. The sole official render of the phone suggests a sleeker-looking body, erringly similar to the Clicks Communicator.

I'll care when they're Dvorak phones /s

I got the Unihertz Titan 2 in December and I absolutely love it. 12GB of RAM are amazing. The camera isn't good, I hope they'll improve that with the next model.

Clicks is very quiet about the amount of RAM in their device, it seems like they haven't finalized that yet. Given current RAM pricing, I fear a 6GB model coming... :(

Im personally typing this from my clicks for pixel :3

Yeah this is something I need since my fingers don’t always register on touch screens.

I was a huge 'tactical keyboard on phone' kinda guy. Then I got acclimated to Swype. I don't think I could ever go back but think choice is good.

Hell yes - as long as it still fits in my pocket. That was a prolem with some of the later Blackberry models.

I actually have a usecase for virtual keyboards - being able to easily change the layout on-the-fly (which is obviously impossible with a physical one)

Hopefully firefox and the like will start putting spellcheck in their mobile applications again. I got mad at auto correct because it was worse than my spelling (at least you can guess what I meant - auto correct often changed to the wrong word: you wouldn't think to I might mean something else). I also often use a bluetooth keyboard, again spell check is needed.

the Voyager and enV style phones with the touchscreen in front and flip to open to qwerty keyboard really gave the best of the worlds

I'm so for this -- The stagnation in the smartphone industry has left me hungry, and a month ago I bought a nice flip phone, which I've been using for the last month. I would totally buy something like this too!

People should look into the ikko mind one too. Its shit that they have so much emphasis on their "AI OS" which is just an integrated app (which can be requested to be removed before delivery or removed via adb). But the hardware looks solid.

Its a square screen phone that you can get a keyboard case for that includes a hifi dac. Its camera is a big sony sensor that can flip over to the front so they didn't need to split the camera money between two or more sensors.

The blackberry priv was the perfect phone form factor I just want that but with better hardware inside

Texting on my old stratosphere was so much better than the modern keyboards. I wouldn't mind an updated version.

I used to pine for this. I loved my physical keyboard on the Treo and Palm Pre. I didn't keep it long, but I even rocked a Moto Photon Q for a bit.

Then I found swipe typing and will never go back. It is SO much faster

Gizmodo didn't always look like the penny arcade website, did they?
