Two weeks into using Clicks Communicator as my primary device, and I must say that the physical keyboard allows me to respond to messages and execute SSH commands swiftly without having to switch applications. The Signal LED light is definitely a good idea since I no longer have to keep looking at the screen to know who is calling me. Still figuring out the battery life when using it intensely in Termux. Proposal: make the Message Hub accessible via API. Have you tried using it with a Bluetooth trackpad?

Hi everyone!
There’s something nice about a phone that puts the keyboard back at the center.
Communicator is small enough that the screen clearly isn’t the whole point. The keyboard is touch-sensitive, the Signal LED tells you who’s trying to reach you, and the Message Hub lets you deal with conversations without opening every app one by one.
It still runs full Android 17, so you can use it as your main phone if you want. It just makes typing and messaging feel like the default again.
The side key handles voice input too. Hold it to dictate, record something, or transcribe a meeting.
Clicks also bumped the final hardware to 12GB RAM and a 4,350mAh battery before shipping, without increasing the $499 launch price.
Turns out, buttons still make a lot of sense!
