Just another gimmick phone that sacrifices longevity, reliability and compatibility for the sake of a physical keyboard for an OS that isn't designed for it.
The 2010s era of wacky smartphones was in part enabled by the fact that everything was iterating so rapidly that it didn't matter as much that the OS stopped being supported in a couple years. I don't see the point of products like this, it's just ewaste.

You’re probably not wrong.
Even the later blackberry phones like the priv and keyOne kinda sucked.
The unihertz phones seemed like a genuine attempt but lacked proper support and flagship polish.
The minimal phone looks cool but reviews aren’t great.
At this point I think your best bet is a clicks keyboard, at least when the novelty wears off you’re not stranded with useless, insecure e-waste. Well, less than a dedicated second device.
