I was unimpressed when the "feature" in the teaser videos turned out to just be a gimmicky 3D effect.
What really turns me off on the product is the currently airing commercial on the radio where this girl is excited about all the notifications on her phone letting her know which book or movie she should buy next.
If there are any owners here on HN, I'm really curious what about the phone was alluring in any way.
I haven't bought one, and after playing with them a bit I have decided not to buy one, but I will sing its only praise: It is the only non-apple phone that even approaches the level of apple's build quality. The Samsungs and HTCs are kindergarten toys in comparison.
Presumably you could use the phone's OCR capabilities to detect and transpose photos of text and other objects into information utilized by apps that do more than just tell you where to buy things.
Is that really an advert on the radio at the moment? That's insane.
I don't hear adverts for supermarkets highlighting the excitement of a shopper before going to the checkout to have money extracted from them or their wild delectation and delight relating to browsing the store and knowing that it'll COST them to leave with any of the products.
