Bad marketing strategy, Chen. Never promise to blow customers' minds, that will only tesult in unrealistic expectations
Hit me with a release date any random day and I will be really impressed if something is available.

BTW, it won't be the specs in this thread posted last year, it is actually much higher.
Plan to show some working proto next quarter.

I know it for sure, because reasons.

Anyway. What do you mean exactly by "borderless screen but in slider form"?

A full size usb in a modern device, which targets the masses used to sleek design, doesn't seem a smart idea to me...we have to accept some compromises if we want this project to become real

I don’t think the QWERTY slider is THE factor that exclude it from the masses 
It’s the name. Or lack of name. I remember someone calling in it chenPhone. I’m more interested in what name Chen going for. The phone i years away from the masses.

I just want to share the excitement and challenges before anywhere else. As I believe we share the same interest and passion for this product.
But project wise, it isn't a good idea to share a lot of internal plans publicly, unless crowdfunding is needed. This is the reason I want to keep limited publicity at this stage, until I hit a good stage to reveal more details. I want to let community know I haven't abandoned this project but trying to make it as good as I can.
