Also (if that's the only color and material available for the phone) it's butt-ugly.

It's not very efficient when you have both hands on full size keyboard and it's certainly much less effective on a phone. People who normally use a flip phone grab my Blackberry and they suddenly can't type. "Where are the keys?" Its happened too many times. They pick it up but can't stop telling me how foreign it feels. If that's the case, where people can't quickly transfer that skill from one device to another, why don't designers just stick a DVORAK or one of the other efficient derivatives developed for people with only one hand on a phone and make everybody learn it? Should only take a few minutes from what I can tell. Why does every SMART phone like this have to use the inefficient QWERTY keyboard layout?

Hopefully they make some nicer looking phones to put that sweet OS on. That phone is ugly as hell. Hopefully they make some nicer looking phones to put that sweet OS on.
