It looks like SLVR version 10.0 without advancement in tech... Ya I feel this is a step backward for phone design. It looks like SLVR version 10.0 without advancement in tech…

Two words: hand salsa. I'd say it's overdesigned rather than minimal, and generic rather than awesome. If it's got a simple feature set, it's form should reflect and complement that. But that's just the way I see things. Except this cuts back on features and adds needless aesthetic elements. Two words: hand salsa.

Design is a solution to a product problem, not just a fashion statement. The back is done very nicely, but the front (the only important portion of the phone) is poorly executed. No one will see the back of the phone. 2. Technically speaking, surfacing, proportions and relation of radii between keyboard / lens and outside perimeter are quite unrefined. 3. General proportions are awkward in the front view. 4. How does the front side relate to the back? Two different designers? Would you like me to keep going, or should that suffice?
