Clicks Communicator is phone purpose-built for taking action and communicating in a noisy world with deeper context, versatile input and greater control in a compact design.
It’s meant to be your real phone. They’re just afraid to advertise it that way. It’s truly bizarre to choose this advertising theme, because it almost causes confusion, since there have been phones in the past which truly are companion phones, totally tethered to your primary phone for their connection but besides that little (huge) dependency, were meant to be like…minimalist, distraction-free devices. Advertising the Communicator as a “second phone” absolutely summons up that same idea, in my head at least. If they did some of the app curation or de-googling of, for comparison, the SLEKE phone project, then they could full-throatedly sell this as a minimalist dream. But they don’t want to lock out any kind of customer, and so they’re struggling to make a case for who the customer even is supposed to be here. So they just call it a “second phone” and let you decide for yourself whether it could be a primary or a second or nothing at all. I’d buy it in a heartbeat if I didn’t have a bunch of frugal reasons not to, and if they hadn’t also announced an accessory so seemingly excellent that it encourages me not to give up my current phone for many years to come.
They have a feedback page. Never hurts to toss that idea out. I’m sure they’ve brainstormed like crazy but they are surely likelier to take that idea seriously, if they have thought of it, if they hear it from the people. I wished dearly that the FxTech X1 or whatever had turned out not to be a scammy piece of shit because I agree, that landscape style is really enticing. As you say, if they could make the same basic thing work as a horizontal version of the Power Keyboard, I’d be super here for it. Everything they advertise as a positive about the Power Keyboard, like controlling other devices, would be better if it was just…way bigger. Haha.
For sure. I meant that as a point for why i would prefer to have that phone as my primary phone rather than a separate keyboard add on. But yeah that idea of it as a serving phone is bizarre except for as work/business phones.
I really miss having a physical keyboard to type on, but not enough to carry a separate device that is disconnected from my phone.

Hadn’t even seen their accessory. That is so close to what I would want as an accessory. If it was just much thinner and landscape orientation.

Couldn’t find the page quickly otherwise I totally would leave that feedback.
You’re right. I was thinking of the ‘report a bug’ page.
Lol it is a bug to me. A bug in their design.
