Clicks Communicator is like a modern BlackBerry with a few new tricks (but it’s designed to be a secondary device)

    I did really like my Blackberry Q10 and this looks like it could be a fitting spiritual successor. I’m keeping my eye on it.

    Unfortunately Clicks didn’t provide any of the actually useful information for determining whether it’s a phone worth buying. RAM and CPU (not just a vague notion that it’ll have something modern) are important factors though most people will be fine enough with anything that’s outside of low-end. They also don’t say anything about whether the bootloader can be unlocked so I have to assume it is permanently locked, which guarantees that any niche following the Communicator gets will be stunted and die with the device.

    It also seems like Clicks has a UK address despite them shipping from the USA, so that’s an immediate veto for me. If they shipped from the UK or any other American country that’d be fine with me.

      I do agree with this. I’d love to know more about the software, especially about how long it’s going to be supported. I hope they release more info closer to release.
