I guess MS is still feeling the sting of their previous foray into the phone market, so they're trying to market it as a Surface? As a phone, it stands out. The giant screen that fits in your pocket is a neat gimmick. It stakes out some potentially influential space on the ground between "phone" and "computer", where market expectations haven't been fully established yet. It costs around as much as other elite phones. "Surface Phone" could have been a great shot into the cutting edge phone market. As a Surface, it's on a different OS and won't run the same software. It gives up peripherals, ports, and screen real estate. Adding a keyboard would make the Duo less practical as a mobile computer than a Surface with the tidy keyboard option. It costs as much as far more powerful Surfaces, but at least it fits in your pocket?
