That would be awesome. To this day, every time I have to use an on-screen keyboard, I dearly miss the days when phones had physical ones.
I've been waiting for the Clicks Communicator a good while now. If it ever ships, I'll probably buy one. I hadn't heard about the Minimal phone: an interesting concept.
I have never been able to really love a phone without a keyboard; typing on glass frustrates me so much that I tend to just avoid using the device.
