The E7 is difficult to pop open as well. That's one drawback that we get for crying like a bunch of babies for thinner QWERTY phones. Apple will release the 5 with an edge to edge screen. The thing

I presume that the device and OS were ready for primetime. The little peak in Transformers 3 proves that it was a desperate measure of Elop to cancel a potential profit.
