Thank you for reserving Clicks Communicator. We owe you an update, and we’re happy to give you one.

In January, we committed to showing working prototypes in Q2 and shipping later this year. Both remain on schedule.

Building a new smartphone platform involves a lot of work that happens out of view. Over the last several months, the team across 3 timezones has been heads-down on the kind of foundational engineering that has to happen before the more visible (and exciting) milestones that follow. With that work largely behind us, we’re excited to share and show more in the months ahead.

Here’s what’s coming next:

  • May: We’ll begin sharing glimpses into the Communicator experience: the software, the interface, and the decisions that went into making it feel distinctly like a Communicator.
  • June: Seeing is believing. We’ll have working units to show, as committed for Q2.
  • Q3: Certifications and testing. You’ll also be invited to configure your order including your Communicator color and keyboard layout. This is also when you’ll be invited to choose your bonus Covers, including limited edition colors.
  • Q4: Production and shipping to reservation holders.

Along the way, we’ll share behind-the-scenes content, like the industrial design decisions and details that make Communicator feel intentional, including some of the accessories we’re working on to complement Communicator itself.

      Looks like they extended the reservation window again (or at least the “reserve” link is still up). Don’t know if that’s a good sign or a bad sign, but, hey, if it seems cool it’s not terribly expensive to get a place in line.

      I’ve had a Minimal Phone for almost a year and I’ve found the eink display limiting in ways I didn’t expect, and the Clicks is a very similar form factor but with a color screen. I’m excited for it lol.

    Im glad to hear from them. We didnt hear from them for a long time.

    Q2 is 1/3 over and they have May and June in their schedule to deliver something…

    I am thinking to hold my device in mid 2027 in my hands. But maybe they can deliver sooner.

    I am still holding on my blackberry key2 for that long
