I am more than happy to wait forever!

Just shim in from time to time to make sure this thread is alive and shiny until the day of release or cancellation.

I would read it more like someone’s suggestion rather than complaining but my intentions and intent are sometimes mixed up in the strange language of this forum.

How do you suggest to release the qPhone to get the attention from the www?

Paytientness is something we always exercise here. It’s given.

I even heard it’s a virtue.

The qiestion above/suggestion/complaining above is related to livmortium said more information these coming weeks.

You know what else is a virtue, Dave? Spelling that people can actually read.

No, it’s not.
Plus. I’m only responsible for what I say. Not what you understand.

About 20% of population of this planet speak english and much less native so...

Re: The new QWERTY device project
 
Time for some quality speculation...

Two weeks ago in a tweet:
”We are extremely excited while finalising our new project. It will be a new beginning for us and we are thrilled to reveal more information in the coming weeks. #FunctionIsKey #Livermorium #HWKB”

When what and where?
BLACK FRIDAY?
CYBER MONDAY
Or any other day!

A new year release would be cool. Hongkong time.

Any coders with livmortium or only hardworking hardcore hardwareErs?

Looking forward to the next tweet...

Not the chenphone but there is a new communicator style phone in Indiegogo: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/cosmo-communicator#/ Same team has made the Gemini PDA.

Looks interesting. I like the idea of having another screen for checking time etc small actions. But the keyboard looks awful, at least in terms of thumb typing. When trying to reach out a button on the center of the keyboard, you will accidentally push down all the buttons on the outer side with you palm. I wonder if 6" keyboard is already too big for thumb typing. If it is, the keyboard design doesn't really matter and actually real buttons provide better feel than n900 style rubber dots. But still it is quite impractical if you need to put the device on a table every time you need to type something.

The Gemini / Cosmo keyboard is like the Psion 5/5MX keyboard, IMHO, the best keyboard for pocket computers/smartphones.

The Gemini keyboard is great (I have one), better than many notebook keyboards.
