Wow...would be a perfect "retro" horizontal slider with a proper digitizer like s-pen :)

Cool. A more powerful update to the Motorola Droid 4. Albeit with a larger screen, more power, more connection options. Looks like it really does operate like a mini Android tablet but in a smartphone form-factor.

*An included stylus (S-pen) would complete the package.

Yes, a spiritual successor to the Droid, I was quite disappointed that the market forced me to go keyboard-less because mashing at a full keyboard really is faster than any touch input.
