I have signed up and paid Kickstarter for my Elite, standard model, and cannot wait.
Do not need the 'pro' features myself, and would prefer the longer overall battery life that the lower power chip affords. Just hope the keyboards hold up, as I have worn the paint off of several buttons from the Pocket model in 10 months of constant use.

I cannot imagine having to go back to a touch screen only phone after having my keyboard phone. I tell you what, EVERYONE notices your phone when you have one of these. People simply cannot wrap their brain around it, and they must look and comment.

I appreciate my time, I'll wait until it's publicly available for a month to let inpatient people to properly test it for me :)
