  Did not know about this, thanks for pointing it out. It is not precisely what I had in mind, but appealing none the less. The phone I had in mind is akin to Motorola's RAZR Ultra. As opposed to opening like a book the way Samsung's latest does, unfolding the "top" half provides a smaller-than-average smartphone screen, leaving room for a Blackberry-style keyboard below. I'm in that niche market where I do not need a large screen on my phone since I am mostly reading text as opposed to watching media. It's not likely I'll ever get precisely what I want due to practicality of both manufacturing and what the general market demands are. I've come to terms with it, but if someone ever drops such a device, I will get in line for it.

      F-Droid is great, but it doesn't update your OS. I'm less worried about application availability than system security patches. (And, to a lesser degree, I do eventually want some degree of features from the newer systems as well. I don't mind slightly older versions of Android as long as they're still getting security patches, but after 5 versions I think we're starting to get a little bit painful.)

  Wow, the Motorola Milestone all over again.
