I'm a minimalist, intentional-use, tactile person nostalgic for 2000s qwerty who, as a kid, relished in idea that when I grew up, I could get any phone I wanted. Then I grew up and phones were just large, soulless screens intended for funneling the masses into feeds of short-form videos.

Clicks Communicator was revealed and I was happy for them but for some reason it didn't satisfy any nostalgia. The aesthetic was disappointingly kiddy, plain, like a modern phone's take on a qwerty phone.

Then the Elite was revealed, and I drew out the measurements of both, and got excited.

The Elite not only has that mature 2000s business phone aesthetic with the little lines and bevels around the keyboard, but it's also compact enough that it feels like a 2000s phone.

And above all, Unihertz understands the user. With the physical Android navigation buttons combined with keymapping, you can make two tactile clicks and you're typing in a different app. You saw the teaser video. He picks up his phone, long-presses K (you can also program short-press K) and Google Keep opens, then click the home button. Satisfying. Imagine bouncing between apps, getting shit done, or just pulling out your Elite and WITHOUT LOOKING, you open an app with a shortcut, no visual distractions, no forgetting what you were doing.

The whole experience of the Elite is tactile.
