| 06:46.58 | sixwheeledbeast | Oksana: I don't think you do. I agree about your concerns with mass distribution however from a cost perspective you get the possibility of two devices with minimal work. |
| 06:48.02 | Oksana | Yes, something similar was done before - hardware keyboard TOH for Jolla. |
| 06:48.06 | sixwheeledbeast | I would imagine the over all weight would be lighter so may not effect the feel. |
| 06:48.14 | sixwheeledbeast | well too much |
| 06:50.12 | Oksana | Either way, I wish for a mobile phone with no display whatsoever. Or minimal display, whichever rocks your boat. But such modularity is difficult, especially where small size is involved. |
| 06:53.45 | sixwheeledbeast | I can't see that being a popular concept, the screen is the important factor for a lot of people. |
| 06:57.55 | Oksana | Fair enough. But, if you are making phone calls, you do not need a display. If you want to see phone number, check the time (or weather forecast), get alarms (calendar notifications), then minimal display would be sufficient - even for SMS. |
| 06:59.46 | Oksana | Large display is good for emails, news, social media, ebooks, coding... But it also requires good eyesight, for seeing tiny letters (unless the "phone" is a giant tablet). |
| 07:00.36 | Oksana | People with poor eyesight will not read news on-the-go simply because it would require putting on the reading glasses, besides pulling out the phone. |
| 07:01.14 | Oksana | Also, when people are walking/running/cycling/driving, they are consuming a minimal amount of information, to avoid distraction-driven accidents. |
| 07:03.21 | Oksana | The concept of "tiny screen and hardware T9 keyboard" is attractive enough that there are lots of Bluetooth pseudo-phones on AliExpress which are add-ons for modern phablets - phablet can stay in the pocket/bag/wherever while its Bluetooth add-on is used to accept/decline/make calls. |
| 08:14.56 | Kero | gemini/cosmo has given the keyboard plenty of thought. Battery underneath works well for weight distribution. |
| 08:44.42 | sixwheeledbeast | Oksana: well exactly we are talking about a completely different device there. |
| 08:45.58 | sixwheeledbeast | I liked the concept of a simple robust T9 device with fast connectivity so you can link a tablet or notebook. |
| 08:46.58 | sixwheeledbeast | A bit like the Punkt devices but they where expensive for what they where. |
| 08:50.30 | sixwheeledbeast | unfortunately i feel "smart" devices are in a rut when it comes to innovation. It's too easy to tie everything to the big app stores an make money. |
