THIS PHONE MEANS BUSINESS The BlackBerry Is Back To Save Us From Our Phones With The New ‘Communicator,’ A $499 Smartphone With NO Social Media And NO Games!

Clicks Technology is officially leaning into the growing backlash against digital overload with the launch of its new device, the Clicks “Communicator”—a modern-day BlackBerry–style phone designed to be your second phone, the one reserved strictly for getting real work done.

Priced at $499, the Communicator isn’t trying to compete with iPhones or Android flagships. Instead, it positions itself as a “purpose-built” productivity device for professionals, creators, and entrepreneurs who are tired of being pulled into endless scrolling loops every time they unlock their phone. This is the phone you grab when you actually need to focus.

One of the boldest decisions Clicks made? No access to social media or entertainment apps like Instagram, TikTok, X, or mobile games. There’s no doomscrolling here, no algorithm chasing your attention. The Communicator is intentionally limited, forcing users to be present and productive instead of distracted.

What it does offer are the essentials for modern work: Gmail, Slack, WhatsApp, email, messaging, and document handling, all optimized for efficiency rather than flash. The star of the show is its physical keyboard—a tactile, clicky throwback that longtime BlackBerry fans have been begging for. For many users, typing on real keys isn’t just nostalgic—it’s faster, more accurate, and far more satisfying.

Clicks also packed the Communicator with features that have mysteriously vanished from mainstream phones. There’s a 3.5mm headphone jack for people who still value wired audio, expandable microSD storage up to a massive 2TB, and even a physical airplane mode switch, letting you instantly disconnect without digging through menus. Every design choice reinforces the same philosophy: control, simplicity, and focus.

In an era where smartphones are engineered to keep you hooked, the Communicator feels almost rebellious. It’s not trying to be everything—it’s trying to be useful. For people overwhelmed by notifications, burned out by social media, or craving a clearer boundary between work and play, this device makes a strong case for intentional tech.

The Communicator isn’t about feeding your addiction—it’s about helping you take your time, your attention, and your productivity back.
