For the hardware keyboard users, they will loathe this since it's a step further away from their likes. For the clumsy folks, this is just a drop away from a new phone replacement.

For me though? Bring it on. I like what I see (I hate bezels)

Not sure why they call it a concept phone? Is it their first device? I'm not impressed

Takes something extra to get my money today, after all it's Tuesday.

One thing they did not show you was the power cable of the thing... To achieve what's shown there without using superconducting materials you need pretty hefty inductors and lots of power.
I'd say at least 2kW to make it usable.

Now, think again what that field strength does to your audio line... pickup (well obviously not magnetic), inductive coupling to your very-low-signal audio lines...

I have small collection of these big discs (buying maybe one every year or so now) but usually use it once a year, during Christmas at my winter house. These players are so friking huge. I like the sound and the background noice from the player. I would rather have that scratchy sound added to MP3:s.

You guys use it on a regular basis now days?

I think they had to video edit the radiation glow from the guy in the video ...
but hey...
so you need a power plant next door..
frickin' cool!
hahaaha

um use what Dave?
record players?
oh yeah... I have one... nothing like vinyl ...mp3 recordings OF vinyl including the hisses and pops make it almost ok...
still...
vinyl is king....
imo.

Little beats a nice classical recording or blues or jazz album on vinyl...
or old Tull for that matter...

but for pure storage capacity... sigh... mp3 is barely adequate...
ogg I like better...
there are better formats and containers for preservation that I prefer...

I've got a small but good collection of old vinyl myself; just about 400 disks. Have not bought many during the last few years, only when I find a real gem hidden on some yard sale maybe

I still use an analog player but very rarely; I have digitized most of my disks and listen the flacks which do have the nice LP-scratchy sound included.
