I'm seriously hoping the screen and battery are just standard mass-produced parts.

Mark all read option would be good :D

Well I'm hoping all the activity on here help to get the search engines interested. But your right press releases to the correct sites will do a lot more :)

I had a N95 and that was pretty thick and I never noticed it.

I would love this as well but it is unrealistic at this stage. But if the battery is in the keyboard part like mentioned (very likely) I bet it won't be a nightmare to disassemble and replace. I think the best wish we could have is they publish a guide on battery replacement ;)

Don't think this phone has an IP rating.

I actually used the IR transmitter all the time at home. I never lose my phone (well occasionally!) but the TV remote always gets lost :D

I suspect the keyboard will work like if you plugged a USB keyboard into the phone.

This phone needs the news to get people aware and general publicity. Other phones don't needs this as much due to been a long standing brand .

I have to agree with just putting a cable in the box. These days you have many options for charging a USB device. For me it would probably never leave the box same as my keyone I have at the moment I still use my previous phones charger :D

I recollect either the N95 or N97 required you to plug in headphones to use the FM radio maybe one of those but I suspect other nokia phones were like it at the time.

I guess the work on sailfish may promote getting ubuntu phone working as well. If you do go down ubuntu road i'd happily beta test :D

Same here I'm sick of sockets breaking on devices. So wireless charge would be a big plus point.

This is what pod casts are for prepare your self :D

When I got 4G I had to turn it off because it was worse than 3G speeds and connection issues all the time I also had the same problem with 3G. I don't expect any different with 5G and by the time it is reliable I would be looking to upgrade anyway!!

Would be interesting to get ubuntu phone working on this.

Price is spot on. Be nice if they could reduce it but I doubt they can.

I have to agree with this one it just doesn't suit a curved screen but that's when they keyboard is in use. When just using it portrait it does look ok. But I will be landscape most of the time so I'd prefer without overall :)

The pre-order process is spot on. I pre-ordered the other day because they didn't ask anythin upfront. I wouldn't of otherwise as they are a new company.

@EskeRahn I like the idea of the fold over case you put. I want something covering the screen but also not interfering with holding the phone while typing. And that looks like it hits the mark.
