Wauw 95%! where did you find that? Sounds like a miracle to me. Even a transformer with an iron core to help the magnetic transfer would have trouble reaching that. But yes 50% is a bad charger, 60-70% typically would most likely be more fair in 2019. And indeed as you mention in a car it is often vertically mounted, and that helps by simple convective cooling. The slower the charger the less the waste, and that means less heat, and thus less trouble. Region/season also matter, as, to LiIon, "Hot" already starts at around 30°C. So even a small raise in warmer climate matters. As a ge

JjyKs, the BB keyboard software have a couple of clever tricks up it sleeves that makes it a bliss to use more than one language. I even have it using English AND Danish at the same time, and it auto detects what language I'm typing, and adjusts the spell-checking and word suggestions, so we often do not even need to request the national letters. If the techniques are not bound by patents I certainly hope the Pro¹ will be 'inspired'.

Wireless charge is quite handy, but has a backside. Wireless chargers all has a rather limited efficiency, typically 50% and you should praise yourself lucky if it is 75% The rest end as heat. "And so what?" You might say. Well the WORST thing you can do for the overall life of a LiIon battery is to charge it heated... And as user replaceable batteries are getting rare, the lifespan of the battery really matters! So we should either charge very slowly wireless, or use cabled. And fast charge wired should also be used with caution, especial when beyond 50% capacity. Do not misun

David, Florian and others. Personally an edges screen or not is not a big issue. As I see it, it is already quite wide (as wide as the Samsung S8+/S9+ phablets, and if we should have any practically protective bezels, it should be even wider, or with reduced display. Both of which I believe would scare of more users than the edge design. Since there seem to be this silly fashion that phablets go bigger and bigger all the time. Personally I already ordered some tempered glass protectors for the longer S8+ and S9+ (one is 0.2mm less wide, one is 0.2mm wider) and hope it got the same curvat

YampA, I have not heard any confirmation nor denial of the possibility for user-editing the key maps. But I certainly will push all I can for us to get that possibility. :-) To me it does not need to be with a fancy user friendly UI to do it. Practically any reasonably described format will do for me (but I'm a nerd). As long as there is a way where we can share the layouts, so the less tech savvy users can benefit from what the nerd makes, AND they can easily reset it to default, if the layout they apply proves useless to them. The layout files should be pure passive keymaps, so there

I primarily use my phones/phablets for SMS, and a bit of browsing. I think I will use it in landscape whenever I need to enter text, and keep it in portrait for utilities such as advanced calculators or playing sudoku. In my experience not too many apps support Landscape. It was already an issue back in 2011-2012 on my Xperia (Neo) Pro, and it certainly has not become better since.... Lazy programmers!! But whenever I got more than one available app I consider to use, the first thing I do after install is to rotate the device, and if no landscape-suport I look for alternatives.... An

Well doktor.oswaldo the "US-International" is fine for those that primarily write in English, and needs to occasionally write foreign name or titles in many languages, But if you use e.g. one of the Scandinavian languages the national characters are almost as commonly used as E in English, so to have them at odd places with double strokes would really be an acquired taste.... But SURE the US-international could be a good thing to print on an international version (The accent key of the international could go to the vacant one left of the Z). And be the default software layout. And then off

From my keyboard case for an Iphone6- with backlight, the tiny battery on that lasted for a MONTH, and that's with Bluetooth! So I expect the extra power needed for the cabled keyboard to be negligible. As always with smartphones, I expect the display to be the real culprit in power consumption. And if you try to use it for extensive gaming and video the CPU too of course. A LOT has to do with usage patterns. The BlackBerry Priv got so much beating for the power consumption, I had stamina of over a week from it with light usage. (In the above and the links in it there are a bunch of hi

The PS from yesterdays newsmail said: ps. if you were a Moto Mod's backer, we will be sending a message out in the coming weeks about how to use your funds towards this new device or to get a refund.

On 4) I do not know if there will be some official ones, but I think it MIGHT be possible to cut a protector for the S8+ or S9+ as these are slightly longer, but looks to have a fairly similar edge-design, and they are 73.4 resp. 73.8mm versus the 73.6mm of the Pro¹ That will be one of the very first things I will try to do when I get my hands on one. (I already ordered some tempered glass protectors for the two models and a glass cutter....)

As I understand it, it is to weigh about 230g. Or about 40g more than a Samsung S9+ of roughly similar area That is about the same weight per area unit as say the last one widely available, the SonyEricsson Xperia (Neo) Pro.

tehtavienhallinta well I agree that it is important that we can type the national letters. And preferably with national print. But would it be a deal breaker for you if a few keys gave what you expected by the standard national layout, and not what is printed on the key tops? In my suggestion we are talking 5-6 keys.

I also hope we will be able to map the keys after our personal preferences, and hopefully in a way so the nerds amongst us can share the layouts for the benefit of the less tech savvy users.

Well rowos it is also a matter of how 'deep' in the hand it is resting. Try to take a large phablet or pocket calculator and place it in landscape resting on the outer two/three joints of two/three fingers, and support it with ringfinger/pinky you will see that you can keep a secure grip and have a huge range with the thumbs. We would naturally place a smaller device with the corners in the palms, but it is not a must for a secure grib

Thanks for the report dt.white, took the liberty to edit your comment so it looks as I assume you intended, and reported the bug to the developers. (Got no answers for your questions though, will try and ask someone)

zimeon Many keyboards with common Scandinavian layout crack the problems with three colours. Swedes, Danes and Norwegians can (at the least) all agree on the Å should go next to the P. and in Swedish ÖÄ goes left of the L. But unfortunately Danes and Norwegians disagree on ÆØ or ØÆ left on L.... (for readers outside Scandinavia: Ä=Æ and Ö=Ø) The Norwegian approach of placing them as the Swedes makes much more sense than the Danish swap. I would certainly prefer the keytops with scandinavian print too, But I would MUCH rather have an international 'blanked' layout, where I had to memoris

The long wait is over... Finally launched :-D

Oh I certainly hope they will NOT make the right-shift of A-Z on the Scandinavian layout, and thus have æøå/äöå on native keys next to P and L The right-shift could by fine for the US layout, but not for international ones with national letters. Personally I would prefer a US layout without the right shift, so letters and digits are aligned as standard, but that is of course a matter of taste whether the centring is more or less important than standard relative positions of letters&digits. I would start with something like this mock up for a general international keyboard. It coul

There are a few more sources... But from how I read what it says on twitter, we will know more in a few days before MWC is over.

I can supplement with a few more sources From Twitter, and the old Moto Mod campaign, both Updates and Comments. And finally an additional image that allegedly shows the device behind a couple of old Nokias on NokiaMob. I tried to extract the info from the various sources here But from how I read what it says on twitter, we will know more in a few days before MWC is over.

You were right with you assumption slion, on the device heading for the MWC, Just got a newsletter saying so :-D

This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test. This is a test.

Well shani I think that Likes can be pretty useful in forum, rather than a lot of people writing 'me too' in a bunch of different ways. A simple Like can help others see that several share the view-point. (I assume that is what is meant by the suggested "ratings")
