To update from the previous post: the Duoqin has been here for a while now, and... it's wonderful. The more I look at it and use it, the more that hunger for analogue life that has long since exploded in me grows. Using t9 again after so long (I usually use the predictive one, not the normal one, it's easier, haha) is a boundless thrill for me. That beautiful tactile feeling of the physical keys being pressed has nothing to do with the impersonality of touch keyboards. It is like a kind of meditation, a feeling of real contact with the device. And I'm already getting used to typing, because I have the muscle memory of when I was a child, so I'm not even very slow. Of course, the convenience of autocorrect is missing, you have to be more careful not to make mistakes... But that's also part of a slower and more conscious life, isn't it? I chose this phone precisely to tune in even more to the kind of life I want. Slow, sweet and true. It's already become a little gem, I personalised it in total: I put my retro anime wallpaper, created a little pack of vintage icons, stuck the floral sticker on the back... And I installed few apps, just the ones I need. I stopped hoarding apps I don't use. And it's incredibly liberating! My Duoqin is like a discreet and elegant garden that accompanies my days.
