    The perfectionist in me wants this phone to be thinner. The geek in me knows that it can't be any thinner because of the modular design. If it was thinner the modulus would not be secure & if you dropped it, it would reminiscent of the Nokia 3310 that would just shoot of all the parts of the phone leaving you to hunt for the front, back, battery, keyboard & sometimes Sim Card but this would be more urgent to piece back together & more expensive to replace. Still, a very intriguing design & I hope they resurrect the project again.

        Oh my goodness, this looks quite intriguing, but I would like to have an upgrade in processor, Ram, and camera.
