Notes

Clicks made keyboard cases for iPhones before this one, and drew the Communicator with Joseph Hofer, who did the keyboards on the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and Passport. The home screen is a Message hub, one list of everything that came in, with a keyboard shortcut per app. Underneath it is Google-certified Android 17 with the Play Store, with upgrades promised through Android 20 and five years of security patches. No one outside Clicks has used a production unit, so all of this comes off the spec sheet.
