People accuse Motorola of being uncreative, but I don't think this phone is bad. The Kodak-sourced optics should be nice (too many phones have crappy cameras), the bar-style design is unique (too few candybar phones are available, at least in America) and the ModeShift keyboard is innovative. I also like the purple, used to "color-code" the photo functions (and, to an extent, the entire line). I'll be honest - if this was available on Sprint right now, I would have it by the end of the week.
So while it still sort of feels like we never really saw Moto's much-hyped next-gen "SCPL" design language, at least they're not totally standing still.
