It's getting difficult to decide between these phones, but I put this table together as there hasn't been anything recent to compare the more finalized specs between them all. I have a Titan 2 Elite, but once everything is released and reviewed I may go to something different.
The Minimal catches my attention a lot for the build design and de-Googled options, but the smaller battery and lack of expandable storage has me skeptical. The Clicks originally piqued my interest, but the price going up to $650 USD is harder to justify when it's largely going to be the same spec sheet as the others, and Clicks doesn't have the greatest track record in terms of build quality and customer support for their cases/power keyboard. Such is the way of upstart/niche companies, it's unfortunately not going be a case of going to a local store and seeing how they all feel in the hand, which I do think is going to be the deciding factor on which one is best.
It's a good year to be a fan of physical keyboard phones, but man, it's getting harder to figure out which one is worth putting money down for.

I’m getting faster every day!
60 WPM on the Minimal Phone 2. I’m getting faster every day.
The latest version of our keyboard feels so much better.
