I hope this would turn out to be something cool like Meego. I would be happy to own something like this as an upgrade to my N9 :)

you can't sue for making a square blocky phone with, god forbid, a touchscreen! the shape is identical to the coffee table my grandfather made but I'm not complaining.

I'm not a BB fan but the interface and typing looks really interesting, if the hardware matches the current gen then BB might be back in the game soon, i might even consider getting myself one, BB is still big here in South Africa

This unit still a developer alpha unit, until when it'll out to the market, mid 2013? or maybe end 2013, or maybe 2014. I know for some people video call camera not important. But i'm sure when it's out it'll be a very nice and elegant phone.

man this talk abouteveryone copying apple is ridiculous! apple has infringed so many patents it's not even funny yet they sue others for using a generic design that was created before they even created anything that look remotely like a phone. It's like someone suing another person for creating a glass! tablets were there before the ipad too. how on earth will you redesign a touch screen phone/slate/tablet. they will all look the same.
