Hope it gets an honest chance
Not sure how I feel about it, but I love that it's a departure from the standard form. Nobody can accuse them of copying Apple or Samsung!
Either way, I do hope this device gets an honest chance. Most of the mobile devs I work with would get an arrogant smirk on their face if you suggested a BlackBerry, and they'd make some snide comment about bringing out your dead.
That said, hopefully actual consumers will give it a chance, being less likely to be pre-biased against BB. I for one welcome all the competition that the big two can get. Oh, and I guess there's a distant afterthought of a third - Windows Phone ;)
