Oh but I do remember & do miss my first Google phone the HTC-made G1 for T-Mobile with a slide-out keyboard, and I actually loved it's clickable trackball--although I hated desktop trackballs and never had a BlackBerry nor Palm. It had the perfect form factor for my big thumbs to learn how to texttype, after desktop touch typing at up to 90 WPM for decades.The G2 was a step down trying to streamline the hefty design and had a lesser clumsy square rocker replacing the precision of the former trackball.
The G1 trackball felt like velcro & not only did it stick nicely to the tip of the index finger, it also gently stuck to it's position and moved a few pixels when nudged to the next sticky point. Never seen nor felt anything else quite like that. A brilliant solution in the dustbin of Android history.
