A Fresh Take on Smartphones: The Clicks Communicator and Keyboard

In the world of smartphones, there's a new player that's turning heads. Clicks Technology is stepping up with two new gadgets that might just change how you think about mobile devices.

The Communicator Smartphone

Clicks Technology is launching a smartphone called the Communicator. It features a physical keyboard, reminiscent of the old BlackBerry days. However, this isn't just a throwback—it's designed for people who need to juggle work and personal stuff on separate phones.

• Price: $499 (or $399 with a $199 deposit before February 27)
• Target Users: Ideal for those who do a lot of typing, such as sending emails or working on documents.
• Focus: Skips social media and game apps, focusing on productivity tools like Gmail, Telegram, WhatsApp, and Slack.

Key Features

• Signal Light: A button on the side that lights up to show who's messaging you. Customize colors and patterns to identify VIPs or regular chats.
• Tactile Keyboard: Easy to type on, even without looking.
• Headphone Jack: A rare feature in modern smartphones.
• Expandable Storage: For those who need extra space.
• Airplane Mode Switch: Quick and easy to use.

The Power Keyboard

Clicks is also introducing a slide-out keyboard that you can attach to your smartphone, tablet, or even your smart TV. It's called the Power Keyboard, and it's got a built-in battery.

• Price: $79 for early birds, later retailing for $109.
• Compatibility: Works with MagSafe or Qi2 magnetic connections.
• Multiple Slider Positions: Fits different phone sizes.

Market Reception

Clicks CEO Adrian Li says they've already shipped over 100,000 keyboards to customers in more than 100 countries. This is a good sign that people are interested in these kinds of gadgets.
