Whether it's the 5 row keyboard (with dedicated number row), or the hinge design, or the "shoulders" to either side of the screen... that's almost exactly what I was describing (though, I don't know if it has the 4" screen I wanted).
Oh, and yes, you are correct, there's definitely a similarity. I remember this design.

I wrote a good-bye message about a year ago.
I no longer work for a university. I work at a company that makes devices in this space (competing with Nokia), and is a target of rumors and such... so they discourage participation. Even though this site itself isn't a target of concern, I'm being careful not to continue my past association with any place where I might accidentally post, or reply to (confirm or refute) rumors related to the company.
(and, yes, I'm being intentionally vague)
Plus, I'm not really in the Maemo/Meego, nor Android, markets anymore.

Still, it's good to hear from you again.
