He also calls it "Freemantle". The "e" is too powerful. We cannot stop it.

Hey, don't sabotage the 2000 post thread goal !

PS. At least we got to the bottom line - "The new device will hit the stores late in 2009 with the price tag of about €550"

I think it's time you to take the next step. I'm assuming you're going to Amsterdam. If not, stop reading. If so, you need to start working on your geek standup routine. And you'll have to setup a live feed of course. If you want to do a dry run, we'll be here.

I've filed two bugs and I'm not even a quarter of the way through the pictures yet.

EDIT: It's gorgeous. I want it... but when you make mistakes on something like "Dialling Pad"...

I know I'm anal... and an extra letter is pretty insignificant as a bug... but think about how many times a RX-51 user is going to hit that button during the phone's lifetime. Each and every single time he or she will make a call, they will see that error. If you want to know why Apple's been destroying the market, it's because of stuff like this.

Sounds stupid, I know, but it's true. If there's one thing that Apple does right, much as I hate to admit it, they - and Jobs - have an amazing eye for detail.. and that's why something like this shouldn't ever be missed.

Let me loose on this thing now. I will look like the Tazmanian Devil himself polishing this thing up between now and release.

Which extra letter? The dialpad pretty much matches what I see on other phones (except that the + is on the *, instead of being on the 0).

I agree. An eye for detail, a strong concern for usability/ergonomics, and a draconian demand for consistency.

Isn't that just British spelling, though?

I want it too, and it is gorgeous.

I'm not talking about the keys. I'm talking about the string "Dialling Pad" which has a second L in the middle of it.

As you clearly can see, so do I.
