Wow, this is THICK!

Looks way better than expected!!

[pracedru]

Looking good.
Can't wait to have my Android as my secondary device.

No labels for which switch is which? That's just bad design, now you'll accidentally block the mic when trying to block the modem.

Wow, this is THICK!

Thicc different.

That flashlight is massive... and apparently the camera doesn't have any protective glass...

Oh, and nice. The Y key is there now.

Oh, of course, the default website font still is DejaVu Sans. Come on, what is wrong with just removing that horrible font from /usr/share/fonts??

That "OpenStreetMap" text takes more than half the screen... Using Roboto it only takes slightly less than half the screen...

I am sure that is just a pre production prototype without the label embossing. Also we don't know if the final buttons will have a tactile feel so you can memorize by touch what they do.

Curios to see the Plasma-Mobile version

Honestly it is a bit massive.
