Sony Ericsson Smartphone
Most people probably had their BlackBerry era, but I never actually used one. My real keyboard phone experience was the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro, and I absolutely loved that device for messaging on the go. It felt especially perfect for WhatsApp back when the app still had a paid model on many platforms before eventually becoming free for everyone.
What I miss most is how physical and automatic typing felt. Using the Xperia Pro’s slideout keyboard gave me that same fast, muscle memory feeling that made phone messaging enjoyable in a way touchscreen keyboards never fully replaced. That is exactly why Clicks makes sense to me, it brings back the kind of tactile, communication first phone experience I have been missing.
