Hello everyone,

i am writing this from my old blackberry key 2 which is getting around 8 years now, has android 8.1. i need a successor phone.

I need a qwertz keyboard, qwerty is ok too.

So i was happy when they announced the clicks communicator and now there is a second option, the minimal phone 2. Both will come out in december 2026 if everything goes according to plan.

The unihertz titan 2 elite is out there too, but i prefer to have the option to have an open bootloader, so the titan is out of my scope…

I like that the minimal has its own android and says: its your device, of course it has an open bootloader…

But its around 100€ more money…

How would you decide?

    Fair, that is how they’re planning to use it because they’re enthusiasts and have several phones around them but according to them it’s a full android OS and isn’t lacking anything just the him screen set to Niagara which you can also change. This is according to Q/As they have answered so all there is reports that are unconfirmed. I have a 2 year old Nothing Phone2 that still runs fine so planning to use that as my secondary phone to the Communicator. That all remains to be seen but I am fine risking it with the Communicator to see how it turns out.
