I want a device that I can hold in my hand. I want buttons that I can push. I want a screen that I can use without constantly having to put my own fingers in the way. The Pyra is definitely a step back towards sanity...
I agree with every word, man.
Todays smartphones are just useless to me, I dont want a big screen that I can stroke all day..
I need a good qwerty. What I dont want on my device, is Android, iOS, or WP.
BB is nice, but Passport is overpriced for me..

Anyway... I need buttons, nice screen, Linux-based system too.
But not in this form of advanced ugliness, please.
This project can be done with so so much nicer looks.
This is exactly why most people think that opensource devices are ugly.. and immature for commercial success.. because mostly they are. Its designers aim is to create something different... I think that doesn't mean it's have to be scary.
