Clicks Technology has introduced the Clicks Communicator, their version of the BlackBerry smartphone, in a new hands-on video. The device targets users who frequently text and email, particularly those nostalgic for BlackBerry's physical keyboard.
The Clicks Communicator is priced at $499 and mimics BlackBerry's classic design, featuring a screen for viewing messages alongside a tactile, touch-sensitive keyboard.
Additional innovative features include a customizable 'Signal Light' for notifications, interchangeable back covers, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and expandable microSD storage of up to 2TB.
The smartphone aims to attract users looking to distance themselves from addictive modern apps while still maintaining functionality. By integrating with the Niagara Launcher, users can access essential Android applications on the Communicator.
The video shows pre-production hardware and software, with an anticipated launch in the fourth quarter of this year. A TechCrunch review of a prototype indicated a satisfactory grip and a keyboard with a positive tactile feel, indicating a focus on text-heavy tasks.
Future videos from Clicks Technology are expected to dive deeper into the Communicator's features, including the Signal Light, Prompt Key, and Message Hub, highlighting its unique offerings in a market dominated by touchscreen smartphones.
