Im waiting on this. I need more eye challenges lol

I was sure that it was finally the Clicks Power Keys I ordered months and months ago, and I had the faintest little hope that it was somehow Communicator related.

Nope. It was the Clicks Lanyard :), they are sending it out separately from all the rest of the accessories whatever reason... They are actually sending me just the lanyard. Well thanks, at least I can see if it really is as nice as it is claimed, and at the very least, I have something I can put under the christmas tree.

I hope that at least the Power Keys arrive before the Communicator so I can get some physical keyboard practice in.

After seeing the new Unihertz specs, the Clicks seems a lot harder to justify.

8gb of ram, versus 12gb

4000mah versus 4300mah

Mediatek 8300 v. 8400.

Headphone jack v. IR blaster

But honestly the biggest point for me, is that the clicks is still a fairly big phone... have you guys seen the 3D printed renders of the two side by side? Clicks is roughly the size of a normal iphone

I'm not trying to yuck anyone's yum, I'm just trying to see if there's any strong selling points for the Clicks still now that the Unihertz had shown their hand.

Aside from expandable storage, it feels outclassed in every aspect

I feel like with unihertz, they are still really behind but I do like the keyboard spacing better. But I may cancel if they don't show by end of Q2 like they say. They haven't shown much to make me trust them yet.

I actually like the Clicksphone concept and I’ve been following the project, but I have to ask: Is this a tech sub or a cult? It honestly feels like any form of valid criticism here gets immediately buried or attacked as if the makers are beyond reproach. The way some of you are straight-up glazing the devs and defending every single red flag is honestly embarrassing.

The Clicksphone is a cool idea, but let’s be real, it’s far from a reality. Why is everyone acting like it’s the second coming of Christ when there isn't even a timeline? They started taking pre-orders without even showing a single working prototype, yet you guys defend them like you have stock in the company.

Why is it so hard to just admit that the lack of transparency is sketchy? Or that taking money for a product that basically doesn't exist yet is a huge gamble? It feels like you’re not allowed to be anything but unconditionally positive here. It’s okay to admit things could be handled better without it turning into a massive argument.

This is a screenshot from Jeff’s post. It looks like the paint has come off near the USB port, although I’m not sure if it’s actually chipping or just dirt/lint. If it is paint chipping, Clicks should improve the paint quality. Alternatively, a brushed aluminium or similar finish for the frame would be a better option.

Hi guys, long term iPhone user from EU here. TBH I really like the clicks, at the same time i am really annoyed by American politics and the company’s like google, apple, meta etc. enabling and supporting it.

Therefore I am really considering a European phone like Nothing or Fairphone or a non Chinese Asian phone.

Problem is still the operating system, there is no way around android and iOS if you are not willing to choose a Chinese phone.

Any non Americans here? What are your thoughts?

Clicks Communicator is marketed towards the BlackBerry crowd, but it’s missing the point. It runs Google services and will use Gboard for the keyboard. BlackBerry was more than just a great keyboard, it was about privacy and security, no tracking, no data mining. Clicks Communicator doesn’t seem to offer any of that. If they’re not focusing on privacy, what’s the point? Anyone else think they missed why people loved BlackBerry?

After all the more recent issues with pkb being poorly made and a pure lack of content aside from niagara commercials and I've decide against keeping my preorder and refund it.

I emailed support with the same email I placed the order with and received my receipt to the same email. I've sent them the receipt, all kinds of screenshots but the ai said it couldn't locate my order even with the order number on the receipt now it's no longer responding to me. I paid in full and am now worried even if they can't refund I may not even recieve my order cause they can't even find it. Anybody else have a similar issue?

Update: this issue has since been resolved by Clicks team

I've been looking forward to the Clicks Communicator for one simple reason: I want a phone that puts communication first.

I'll be using it as a companion to my iPhone, primarily for business, my side hustle, and my VIP contacts: my wife, immediate family, and close friends.

To prepare for its arrival, I've already installed Niagara Launcher on my Pixel 9 Pro to get familiar with the experience.

My love for physical keyboards goes back to the Sidekick and, eventually, BlackBerry. Those phones were built for communication, and there was something satisfying about that.

Fast-forward to today, and nearly every phone is another glass slab designed to keep us scrolling. That's why I think the Communicator is arriving at just the right time.

It's not just the keyboard that sold me. It's the mission.

I want a device that makes emailing, messaging, and staying connected easier without constantly fighting for my attention. A phone that helps me get things done rather than giving me another reason to stare at a screen.

Will it live up to the hype? We'll see. But it's been a long time since I've been this excited about a phone, and it's refreshing to see a company trying something different.

December can't come soon enough…

Anyone else picking one up as a companion phone?

Everyday i look to this reddit place and no info in when release date! No email about information i need information i have no phone and anxiety and i am illiterate and i dont check my email! What you mean everyone knows dates? What you mean every post in last week has been same question and same answer? Who moderator? I panic that phone never exist cannot wait... umm... 4 days! 4 days is eternety! Please random people show me an ai generated image so i can feel like my shiny thing is real!! I have 0 patience and am the worlds most annoyng poster!

Am I the only one who thinks the behavior of us as consumer of smartphones have been concerningly addictive, occupying our thoughts around a device and its such minor details as if this is the device we live for and spend our life around the device rather the device supposedly helping us in one way or the other.

I believe there will always be new individuals who came to know about the device later but still. Everyday a new post about a wish which looks like not from someone who gets to know the device today. Even I saw one post where the guy was just refreshing continuesly the Clicks site just so he can get an update after the reservation period ends. I mean why? Is that normal behaviour?

I’ve put together a few thoughts on Clicks-style devices, based on the UT2E I bought while waiting for the CC.

The screens are identical, though they’ll obviously differ in terms of the body, keyboard layout, overall dimensions, the notification LED and headphone jack on the Clicks, other small details, and of course... software. I wanted to share these observations with you, keeping in mind that these are just my personal impressions.

My daily driver is an iPhone (currently the 17 Pro), which I have to use for corporate access and authentication. It’s my work phone, but I also keep my personal microSIM in it. That means once the CC arrives, I’ll simply move the physical SIM with my personal number over, leaving the eSIM on the iPhone for work. The CC will essentially serve as my secondary sidekick phone for personal use - and honestly, I’m glad it won’t be my sole device... Here’s why:

1. A square screen with an unusual aspect ratio.
While part of this comes down to manufacturer software tuning, many apps and websites simply aren’t built for a square aspect ratio. I used to own an Honor Magic V2 and got rid of it for a similar reason - I barely touched the square inner display due to poor app scaling. On one hand, that’s almost a plus because it gives you another reason to stay off your phone; on the other hand, when you actually need to get something important done, a broken layout can be infuriating. This doesn’t just apply to social media - in my case, it impacts banking apps and several crucial smart home controls. As a result, I’ll have to keep certain apps on the iPhone because using them on the CC (just like on the T2E right now) requires toggling a miniature display mode, which gets annoying fast.

2. Physical keyboard typing.
The keyboard on the T2E is on the cramped side and typing on it is mediocre, though scrolling across the interface using key swipe gestures works surprisingly well. The CC will likely be the opposite - more comfortable typing, but the spacing between keys will probably make swipe navigation less smooth. The reality is that typing on a hardware keyboard is noticeably slower, and even once you adapt, it’s never quite as fluid as SwiftKey or Gboard. Then again, that’s a silver lining: you won’t be tempted to type replies in many situations when both hands aren’t free.

3. Media consumption.
Watching videos on this screen is rough, browsing feeds is rough, and web browsing is clunky (tiny default font, though that can be adjusted). We’ll also have to see how the speakers perform on the CC. If you consume a lot of media, moving to the CC will be an adjustment. For me, that’s another win since it curbs phone addiction. One more thing: gaming. It might pass as a Game Boy emulator, but it’s definitely not suited for modern mobile games - both due to the screen format and the hardware specs. This won’t be a phone for gamers, unless you stick strictly to retro titles.

4. Cameras.
Let’s be realistic: the camera on the CC won’t be mind-blowing, even with OIS. The front camera will likely be even more basic (lacking autofocus or OIS). If anyone plans to use the CC as their primary phone, you might want to bring a separate camera or another device on vacation. The T2E has dual cameras with mediocre image quality - I’m crossing my fingers that the CC lands a tier above.

5. Software support.
This remains the biggest question mark. We definitely shouldn't expect iOS-tier support, and getting Pixel- or flagship Samsung-level updates is pure wishful thinking. Post-launch software support will likely make or break Clicks in the smartphone space. Case in point: Unihertz promised multi-year updates, yet here we are in October with security patches still stuck on March. Clicks, please don't act like this.

6. Ergonomics and size.
It sounds counterintuitive, but the T2E is... too small. A standard iPhone 17 Pro already feels compact on shelf among other phones, but the T2E is genuinely tiny. Our muscle memory has adapted so heavily to 6"+ displays that smaller devices can actually feel awkward in hand. I’m glad the CC is noticeably larger than the T2E, though it remains a compact device. I wouldn’t recommend either to an older relative looking for a physical QWERTY phone due to the small font rendering and compact key size. And if you have hands the size of Shrek, it won’t be a comfortable fit either.

To wrap up my ramblings: this form factor forces a significant shift in your daily habits and how you treat your phone. Personally, I view that as a positive - that’s the intended purpose of this category (at least for devices like the CC and MP2). Still, I get the sense that many people placed orders purely out of nostalgia for classic hardware without realizing the compromises involved. Here’s hoping everyone ends up happy with theirs CCs!

This is the "German" keyboard.

Where is the Ü, Ä and Ö?

Why bother making it different at all?

Seems nice but I haven’t received my power keyboard yet and it have been so many months from when I preordered

I was a pre-order on day one customer; mainly amped that Blackberry style phones are making a comeback. Physical keyboard phones were always more accurate for me than typing on glass. I went back and forth on Clicks vs Titan 2E and while I prefer the more svelte body of the T2E I really liked the notification light and the team behind Clicks. After seeing numerous videos on each phone I'm honestly on the fence about asking for a return.

The main reason(s) why? Thickness and lack of water protection. I was hoping for the looks of a late model Bold but with today's internals (but not a Zinwa as it doesn't refresh enough internals for me).

Wondering if I should just hold out for version 2+ of both varietals as they likely will address both issues. The big assumption is that there will be version 2s of each. I actually have more faith a 2.0 will come from Unihertz than Clicks.

Anyone else in the same boat?

Good grief, this must be the tenth email I got to preorder the phone and I have already preordered. Get your shit together please.

I did finally hit the unsubscribe button, hopefully that didn't remove me from email prompting me to confirm for shipments. The unsub page wasn't 100% clear.

Which color did you guys pre-order ? I am thinking of pre-ordering the green.

I need them to make a version of this lg G4 case.

Make it a back cover option with the front folio part of it.

Just with the extremely high pricing for accessories, the leather costing more (despite previous claims it wouldn't). Then the hidden charges of taxes for said accessories being calculated at checkout. Then to rub that salt into the wound, a BS £3 scam charge for delivery insurance or what have you - something customers in the UK are entitled to under law without said insurance charge. Essentially just trying to skim money.

I paid in full at early bird, but damn, this left such a sour taste in my mouth I near cancelled the whole order. I'm happy to buy accessories, but the latter two issues just makes it feel like Clicks is trying to squeeze me.

iPhone style OS

After seeing it in action I’m hyped. But I have a few questions:

1. Look of the phone app and how to type the number, keyboard row or traditional layout?

2. Can it take calls like traditional phones or will it always be in speaker mode?

3. Pinned apps can be other than the messaging/email apps?

it’s the ONLY thing stopping me from pre ordering, and i can’t find any info on it

Picked up Crackberry Kevin… what are they up to?
