I had my fair share of exposure to the super-hyper start-up scene. Did these every-smiling people just re-invent the blackberry, and practiced the pitch for a month? Does anyone ever tell them "no, don't do this"?

#152This looks really interesting. Sidephone also falls into this camp since I haven't seen it mentioned so far:

#153While the communicator is nice, I just pre-ordered the power keyboard: https://www.clicks.tech/powerkeyboard

Oh! Okay. I’m not an expert, but the depth of information here appears to disagree? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Latin_alphabet

Palm Treo/Pre and BlackBerry users! And probably Clicks users too. It's not a matter of "Does Russian language use the Latin script?" (it doesn't), but rather "What is the least annoying method to input Cyrillic on a BB-style keyboard, which doesn't have enough buttons for the йцукен layout?". Phonetic layouts such as яверты or яшерты were very popular for such devices back in the day.

For anyone one confused, the first part is an approximate transliteration into Cyrillic of the English sentence “Much like how you can/could spell English in Cyrillic.”

#156I might buy/support this, because it seems like they’re actually listening to what [some] people want. But I don’t know that it’ll get me off iMessage.

Uhhh judgey… You do you. It was ment as a glimmer of hope for society at large.
ah, sorry, you just want to control what apps other people can use
I think you misunderstood. My point was: This would be a great device if there wasn’t a need for it to support these apps.
And because of this it’s just another android phone. And it fails (will) because the screen ratio does not work for those apps.
This would be awesome if it would just be that a „communicator“ meaning a device that allows to communicate.
Think remarkable vs all the other e-ink android tablets.

If you’re aiming for the second phone market you don’t have to beat the iPhone. Probably the easier pitch.
A second phone market has never been a thing. History is filled with failed attempts. They should focus on the largest potential market: parents who buy a phone like this to text with their kids without allowing them to have a completely internet connected phone.
From my experience as a parent, that market is also very small, because the time between “child is old enough to text and be away from parents for long enough” to “child wants to have a real phone” is not that long.

Innovation?
re-innovation; it'll be one the first first phones in 20 years to have an actually different form factor than, "rectangular screen"
Exactly. And I would love a phone that commits to be a „communicator“, eg. optimizing the simplicity of talking, instead of a consumption device.

Russian does not use the Latin alphabet
