Overview
- Clicks released a public 'first look' video that demonstrates a working Clicks Communicator prototype with both hardware and software running.
- The device runs a custom Android build using the Niagara launcher and emphasizes keyboard-first navigation, homescreen-integrated notifications, and quick keyboard search.
- Hardware shown includes a removable rear panel for swapping SIM and microSD cards, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a tactile, touch-sensitive keyboard with planned extras such as a signal light and a prompt key.
- Clicks says the phone is still in final development, has not provided pricing, carrier or independent testing details, and will release deeper feature walkthroughs in the weeks before shipping later this year.
- The Communicator targets users who prefer tactile keyboards and focused workflows, reviving a BlackBerry-style niche while promising features designed to limit distraction and offer hardware flexibility.
