It's really incredible how much technology and marketing has gone into removing a tiny seam (which is actually not even fully removed anyway).

- bee_rider 5y agoIt seems very strange. Like even if you really wanted screen that went down to a smaller size, why not do something scroll-inspired, rather than book-inspired?
- Teever 5y agoThe people who are tricked into buying these phones through that marketing are beta testers. Give it a couple of revisions and you'll see products that you actually want to buy. Compare those pen based tablets that Bill Gates was demoing in IIRC 2002 to the first ipad.
- niek_pas 5y agoSome, possibly many of the people who bought these phones were totally willing beta-testers. Some people are just excited about a new piece of technology and have the means to drop upwards of $1500 on it just for kicks.
