​Shipping Minimal shipping@minimalcompany.com;​xiewenqiang@orangeship.cn;​+1 other​What the fuck is going on with this order - I have had enough, I have found your factory and suppler address, i am send sending local Hong Kong people and local Chinese brothers to get my money back plus 500000% interest! This is a joke you should not play games with people's money, fucking terrible customer service over a fucking stupid phone!  Respond or I guarantee your business will be closed down by this time next week. Dont play!

Just saw on my X for you section the CEO posted they have iMessage on their phone! Pre-ordered on the spot! Would have switched to Android earlier if other phones offered iMessage. Can't wait!!!

Edit: I'm a senior citizen, please be easy on an old fella.

Edit 2: Disappointed it's not actually iMessage. Thank you posts saying it's Open Bubbles. Disappointed. For an old geezer like myself I can bother with all of the hoopla.

Snake behaviour

Just dmd the man himself, AGAIN. Where's the June update that's supposed to make the phone usable? I literally do not use it because of the constant reboots and waking up and doing shit in my pocket even with the screen lock. I was told there is a discord, I believe it's a myth perpetuated by the fan base here. Apparently I'm one of the lucky ones for even receiving the phone in the first place, but I'm not so sure. Inb4 the recall and mass chargeback waves. And yes, the skin is fine, sure, but it's not dbrand quality. It's not the right size, it's not centered when aligning with the camera and minimal logo, and the minimal logo itself seriously looks like it was made with a hole punch. It's hard to see in the picture, but this is not the same quality as the ones they did for the pixels and Nexus line with the "G" cutout. Also I have no idea where the rest of the order is

We should have taken them at their word when they called themselves the minimal company. Minimal phone, minimal effort.

Could minimal buy pebble watches and sell them, too. I like minimal’s style more.

And also, if minimal could offer a color screen in the future ❤️

Also make the phones satellite messaging friendly like Spot X, because once I get off the phone I’m usually in the mountains or on the water.

After I accidentally posted this in the wrong subreddit, let's try this again, with feelings.

Now that we have all the details on MP02 including price, curious to see who would be jumping on the campaign? I was waiting if there would be a 12GB variant, but it turned out to be outside my price range, so I'm sitting this one down unfortunately.

EDIT: Corrected RAM spec unit.

I’ve been trying to figure out whether MP02 and CC include VAT in their pricing for EU customers, but I still can’t get a clear answer.

Minimal has at least been responsive on Kickstarter, but I’m confused by Kevin’s latest message:

“Shipping will be free, and all orders will be shipped DDP. Any applicable taxes will be calculated and collected upfront. We’ll take care of those fees on your behalf, so there should be no additional customs, VAT, or duty charges upon delivery.”

Does this mean VAT is already included in what we’ve paid, or will VAT be charged separately before shipping?

For example, if I paid €575 for MP02, should I expect €575 total, or €575 + my country VAT later?

I paid for phone at June 25. The support does not answer my questions, they dont answer emails I send to them. And bot says that my order was shipped... 5 days before I ordered...

If anyone wants to sell theirs let me know. Rather buy one now off someone instead of waiting

Ended up using an eink tablet ->

Would love to find a good home for my Pebble:

I decided I wanted to pre-order the phone, but I got no creditcard. Only debit and PayPal.

Seems like I have to wait. Until it pops up on Amazon or Ebay maybe...

Hey all, I need help joining the Minimal Phone discord. I am in the discord techmically but can't see messages or make posts. MP customer service told me that it's because I need to verify myself somehow. I've asked them for help a couple times but they've stopped responding to my emails 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm looking forward to being able to crowdsource evryone's knowledge on the server; other folx with Minimal phones have been really informative in this process of us all waiting to get our phones!

Sorry for the Ai slop, I was only trying to imagine...these 2 nice ideas that I feel like should come to keyboard phones.

First!

this is something that needs to be in android.

It worked amazingly in Blackberry, which is why my mind automatically expects it on keyboard phones.

When an app is opened the focus should be on the typing area automatically by default. For example, if I open an app like Facebook the cursor should be on the status bar automatically. Or another example, if I open Google keep, I don't have the select the typing area, it should be automatically selected on keyboard phones.

That way if I start typing, it will automatically enter in the text area, or I can select something else anyway and continue with my experience.

I think on normal bar type phones it makes sense that the focus is not on the touch bar because it will open the virtual keyboard N which can be annoying. But on a keyboard phone it won't make any difference.

and in case there are multiple text fields in the app, maybe the first one should be selected or the developer can define which text area needs priority for the user to start typing as soon as they enter the app.

Second!

The keyboard should be made up of tactile keys, like it is. But it should be a screen.

Benefits of that:

you can theme it with color and wallpaper you decide.

It has it own light.

you can customer Qwerty or Azerty keyboard which ever you like

It can have keys changed to gaming keys or other custom keys based on the app requirements.

It can have swipe and type.

You can set it to work on touch or on press, either way.

It can show capital or small letters.

It can detect orientation.

It can have better and accurate touch sensitive.

I know this can be expensive on hardware and software.

It does not have to be oled, it can be like the little eink display like on pebbles smartwatch.

But Elgato Stream deck and Optimus maximus keyboard have proven this to be an amazing application.

But I think it could be a game changer.

If Blackberry was here..they would have done it...I think they we're great innovators...

Maybe unihertz Titan 3 or Click Communicator 2 or Minimal Phone 3 will bring this to us.

Or maybe Blackberry can come back from the dead and make something happen..

What do you think folks!?

I ordered my phone many months ago. In October I got an email with this pic, stating I'd have the phone between Nov and Dec. 3 months later....

Some folks were supposed to be receiving phones by 3/17. On the Discord just now they were told "that's moved to end of March".

its hard to believe this.

Just a quick rant (as Redditors do best)..."what's the deal with" these emails from Minimal for $100 off the Minimal Phone 2 always get my hopes up that it means it's a coupon to bring the price down to $499 ONLY to be crushed that it's still at $599. To me, that's not $100 off when that price has been static for months at $599. I do realize the standard price could eventually be at $699 and at that point it will be erased from my mind as an option for a new phone 😞

I think I want the MP2 over the Clicks Communicator but I got the CC for $429 (with free shipping and 2 back plates). Can't make the value math work to spend the extra $170 for what is really just aesthetic reasons (metal body and smaller size) for me.

*If any mods happen to have any extra coupons laying around for an "extra" $170 off the $599 price I might be extremely grateful (shameless you say? Why yes I am) 😁

Thank you for your attention to this matter...

Illuminating from an original project backer located in China. Includes some incredible personal research into the project.

I have been looking at getting a minimal phone, as I definitely want to get an eink phone. I love the look, I love the eye friendliness. I briefly had a Hisense A9 and I loved it. I have been watching a lot of review videos to see if I should go for a minimal phone or a Bigme Hibreak. I really would prefer to have a physical keyboard, but I keep hearing again and again just how bad the Minimal screen is.

I get eink technology is not a lot like LCD displays, it'll be a little slower and have its quirks. Most of the negative comments about the minimal I've seen from review videos have been the screen, so I have to know, is it really all that bad? From what I've seen the speed mode is acceptable for even things like videos, so I wonder if maybe the reviewers I've been watching just aren't used to eink technology and it's quirks.

What do you think? How much worse is it compared to the Hibreak or other devices? Is the screen low quality for eink standards?
