This looks like a dream come true to me ~ to have a quality point & shoot camera in a phone! I might have to trade in my iPhone!

Here's the link to the announcement:

I got so excited until I actually read the full article, twice. It's not "technically" a phone, it runs on android software but has to have wifi and an app to make phone calls.

Well, you have to admit their lead-in statement was very deceptive! But, a pretty cool product!

You are correct, then you had to read it a couple time (well I did) to realize it wasn't really a smartphone!

The wifi feature sounds pretty good to me!!!! Wifi is available nearly everywhere, now & being able to make phone calls WITHOUT having to pay for a cell phone plan. . . what a concept!

You must not be hiding very deep in the back woods! The concept sounds great to me too. The fact that I don't even have good cell service at my house much less wifi, high speed internet or even cable availability!
