Clicks debuts its own take on the BlackBerry smartphone, plus a $79 snap-on mobile keyboard | TechCrunch
"Clicks Technology, a company known for making physical keyboards for smartphones, is launching two new devices ahead of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next week. In addition to a new, $79 slide-out keyboard for smart devices, the company is also unveiling its first smartphone: the Communicator, a smartphone with a physical keyboard, designed to be carried as your second device."
"The $499 smartphone is described as being "purpose-built" for people who carry two phones - one for work and one for personal use. That is, the company believes its market will be people who do a lot of actual work on their devices - meaning messaging, emailing, working with documents, or other things where using a physical keyboard could be an advantage."
"The phone's standout feature is its Signal Light, a light-up button on the side of the device that can be customized with different colors and light patterns to indicate when you've received messages from certain people, groups, or apps. For instance, you could make messages from VIPs glow purple while chats from WhatsApp are green. You can press on this button, known as the Prompt Key, to dictate messages when you're in a text field, or otherwise take a quick voice note, if not."
Clicks Technology is releasing two new products: a $79 slide-out keyboard for smart devices and its first smartphone, the $499 Communicator. The Communicator is built as a second device for people who separate work and personal phones and who do messaging, emailing, document work, and other productivity tasks. The phone restricts access to addictive social media and games and uses Niagara Launcher to prioritize messaging and productivity apps such as Gmail, Telegram, WhatsApp, and Slack. The device features a customizable Signal Light and a Prompt Key for dictation or quick voice notes, plus a tactile ergonomic keyboard for faster typing.
