Clicks Communicator Ships in December With Spec Bump, Price Rise
The BlackBerry-style handheld will start shipping in December, but an impending price hike changes its launch positioning.
Clicks Communicator, a BlackBerry-like phone, is set to begin shipping in December, according to Engadget. The announcement also includes a specification upgrade and word of an upcoming price increase, making the launch period notable for both product and pricing reasons.
From a business perspective, the combination matters: the spec bump could improve the device's appeal, while the planned price hike suggests the company is adjusting its positioning before the first units reach customers. Engadget frames the December shipments as the next milestone for the device.
The report does not detail the exact specifications or the size of the price increase. Still, the timing indicates that early buyers will receive an updated version of the Communicator and will likely pay more than originally expected.
