5.5 screen is a solid trade off. Not big. Not small.

Perfect heavymiddleweight champion.

To be clear, I meant nothing against Chen. I have a full respect for him trying. What I meant was, it would be nice to have a choice of HWKB devices in a range of screen sizes, races, creeds, colours and hues. But we don't. As it stands, we do not have a single such device. So be grateful if someone is going to make one, even if it isn't exactly to your dream specification.

If the first device is proven successful and shows a demand, I will continue the effort with the "compact" version. And we will have more variant. But the key is to make the first one successful.

PS: TMO's ignore list function should mute the content in quote as well. :rolleyes: Otherwise it loses its function when it's in quote.

Yes, that looks like me. Love to work in the kitchen and also aliens.

It's generally a good idea for you to learning to ignore reading the stuff even when it's right in front of you. It's especially important not to bring up the subject you are trying to avoid :D

Love your picture. This thread needs more pictures. Hope for some prototype picture in the future. Feel free calling it crazy Dave.

Yes, I'm green. See you later alligator.

@pichlo on a second thought and measurement, that this device isn't much bigger than the N810. Especially it is thinner than it. Hope more can accept in this way.
