But… it’s a mockup. Non functional piece of plastic. Prototype pls.

    Yeah a lot are waiting for it. But the device is 6+ months away. Most phones wouldn't be discussed that early. I think with this company being new to the market and small they do need the cash flow of the preorders to make it happen. I would think very differently of say, Samsung doing this.

    Supposedly the ones shown off did have the actual keyboard and display hardware in it.

    I get it and I like the people behind it, but 6 months is very short in terms of hardware / software design. There should definitely be something more tangible there.

    If they have the completed keyboards and displays and assemblies in hand it doesn't seem too bad. Like I said most phones aren't announced until closer to launch.

    Maybe this is dumb, but every photo I see, it doesn’t have tactile markers for the home row.

    I really liked that about my old phone with a keyboard and it feels like an important feature to me but maybe it’s not as important as I think it is.

    I don't see a slot for speakers at the top. Can you hold this up to your ear to take calls like a regular cellphone?
