Are you serious? The phone's form factor is funky in itself, i don't exactly understand how convenient the portrait styled swivel is useful for a texting phone, won't a landscape screen be better? And what's with the bottom portion of the phone with the menu keys being set below the screen? Looks kinda retarded IMO lmao.

Yeah I agree that the form doesn't look too convenient, but what I'm talking about its the design style, like the buttons and shape.

Only thing they need to fix is the portrait swivel and fix the bottom portion of the phone to match the screen portion, kinda hard to explain. |

I don't know what's your point in posting @drift. he only speaks his opinion. besides we haven't seen how the phone looks like in personal and how SE will manage to complement the form factor with the user experience. the phone is rather new in terms of looks - now all we need to do is to wait and see how it's going to work. it's pretty early to conclude everything with just a single picture.

Not really. A vertical screen makes much more sense while having a conversation on IM. |

Simple answer. Do you keep your IM windows horizontal or vertical? Most people prefer the latter because its easier to keep track of a conversation that way. |

I don't exactly see how a vertical screen is better for conversations because with a landscape screen, you don't scroll as much because it's more spread out. Applies to browsing the web as well on a phone with landscape providing the best view while browsing. |

It is not about every single msg, it's about the conversation.
You want to be able to se many messages - the conversation, and not just one message at a time - that would be like using MSN/IM/ICQ/AOL/WHATEVER and only being able to read one post at the time.
Just think about how your typical MSN window look.
You need to see the big picture, the whole conversation, and that is where the vertical screen comes in to play...

I still think a vertical screen is not ergonomic (think of viewing angle between screen and keyboard) and itīs just goddam ugly. Even if they tilt the screen it would only be worse because of all the space the device would take. better NOT release this. Bad design = FAIL. |

It's just opposite IMO!
On portrait you see 2 times more text lines than on landscape!
Like in massages:
portrait: 11 headers
landscape: 5 headers
See the difference?
