        I like those kind of keypads. Perfect for gaming. If only there was a Dpad though.

            Bill, 26 Jan 2010Ever heard of the Android OS, that is the reason why. Then ... moreI also forgot to mention with the impending debut of WM7, things should hot up.

              Dan Noble, 25 Jan 2010Motorola is still alive? What other arm of the company are... moreEver heard of the Android OS, that is the reason why. Then again, I assume the majority of GSMarena readers still think it's a one way war between Nokia and SE and don't take the OS into account, which IS the major player as access to features of any phone is dependent on ease of OS use. Wake up, Android is growing and challenging the likes of the Iphone OSX/Blackberry/Palm Web OS and pretty soon Maemo, once matured, will be the OS choice for Nokia to compete with Android and OSX. Moto are pretty strong now thanks to the Milestone/Droid and ad campaiging by Verizon, plus the Android OS is open source making it much more attractive to programme developers than Iphone OS which is pretty much controlled by Apple.

                The Nokia 6800 was ugly and fat. The keypads made the phone look like a cheap kids toy.

                This Motorola design is sleek and thin, with the keypads hidden and sliding out the sides. I like the concept, but wouldn't ever use it myself.

                    this is weird, it will be so hard to text when half of the keyboard is on each side and too wide.
                    have to see the actual production of it i guess...
