Too rich for an unproven design, for me anyway.

Gah...

I'm NOT switching to Verizon for it.

Hopefully an unlocked version comes sometime later.

Having to switch to Verizon would be a deal breaker for me too.

Officially not coming to Canada. Not that I'm currently in the market for a phone, but gives me a little fomo.

Sure is a cool design though. It's going to be interesting to see/read about how it holds up over time. I'm also extremely curious to see what a follow up to thing phone would look like. Love cool design stuff like this.

Same here. I'm not entirely sure how often I would use the Wing/swivel, but it looks like it could really address cramped screen real estate.

Like you though, I'll have to wait for other folks impressions.

Well if the bottom screen could go into a sudo controller mode like the G8X's second screen can, it could make for some sweet gaming/emulation.

It sure could. I've been thinking about a phone for gaming lately too. Just what I don't need right now lol.

I really wish I hadn't read that because I really want to try one out now.
