I still prefer Pyra, because... Resistive touch screen. And running Linux (not Android) pre-installed. But, Pyra has no camera (?), and is more of a laptop than a phone.

I wonder whose market share Fxtec is eating into. Blackberry's? What devices are pre-orderers using now, or were using before, that they hunger for sliding hardware keyboard? It cannot be just Nokia N900/N950 users, they would have surely heard of Neo900 - and Neo900 didn't get that many pre-orders (but then Fxtec is visually similar enough to modern phablets to be somewhat 'mainstream' - and has somewhat higher specifications).

In short, I will probably end up with a line-up of Lifebook (already here, might be able to upgrade from 3GB RAM to 8GB RAM), Pyra (coming soon, 4GB RAM and possible upgrades in distant future), Fxtec (3GB RAM, don't expect upgradeability :-/ ), Neo900/N900 (256MB/1GB RAM), Pebble Time (256kB? RAM) and whatever else.

Thank you. Best wishes.
