What are your priorities?
I'd lay out a spreadsheet with the different specs/features so you can see them side-by-side. Highlight important features.
Then differences will stand out.
I don't know enough about either, but have been watching them with interest as I miss a real keyboard. Not sure I want to trade screen for it, but I did carry a Palm Treo and well, really, the screen now is smaller and wonky whenever a keyboard is up anyway.
Well they are both nice. Naja the clicks has more marketing and blin blin attitude, the minimal phone more a techy, minimal approach.
The one has a bigger battery, the other one has "android minimal" whatever that is...
Its difficult, that is why i am coming here :)
I do suspect Clicks has a better keyboard, and Minimal is targeting an Apple aesthetic.
A spreadsheet will really help - I've been surprised at what became important when doing this. Weight can be significant, as can brightness. I'd really like to see how bright either is.
Minimal looks like it may use a glass back. Eww. That means heavier and absolutely requires a case, which means more weight (and bulk).
Communicator looks like it has a textured back and a shape that'll be easier to handle.
Minimal's website is all about slick - it doesn't eve have any specs - and that really turns me off. Clicks has been open from the start about their goals, and keeping us informed.
