@Atkins i agree its refreshing to have some new thinkers in the market, i like the idea of the twist screen. it really gives a funner feel than a slider and i personally like my phone to stand out (currently go back and forth between a bb pearl flip and a lg decoy) both are different in a very nice way. i think this will do it too, maybe a bit too small of a screen but that can be dealt with. and i personally love motoblur as much as i like sense and i cant stand straight android, its not polished enough. come to att and verizon and moto can have another great handset. and think this phone isnt targeted towards nerds who surf engadget all day. it pointed to tweens and teens who want their social network all the time the same as the backflip is. the people who dont care about bein able to get apps other places than a app store and wont notice the crippling effect att seems to have on android
@Atkins Agreed. Also, they keyboard seems more friendly than landscape for thumbs, but not as size restricted as the portrait style.
Major con: Screen & Bezel. Screen is too small, bezel seems to take up 1/3 of the space just to make it widescreen (I almost called out a 4:3 aspect ratio as a problem. ha)
@juanvaldez True. But the idea is very good IMHO and I am confident in Motorola building a sturdy device. But now that you point it out, they could've used all the space for a screen ( no need for bezel, given the size of the device)

@jascop heck it goes to the same group as the kin phones with more possibilities and support
