I'm exited for this device and am eagerly awaiting it, but I am NOT liking what I'm seeing. There seems to be too much reliance on the touch screen. For example, when he typed, 'Spotify', he touched the screen to open it. He should have pressed enter on the keyboard. When he scrolled Spotify, he used his finger on the screen. He should have swiped on the keyboard. If they don't get those details right then they won't fill the niche market they're trying to break into.

Yeah, it feels like a touchscreen phone with a keyboard that you only use for text input. You should be able to engage with it ENTIRELY using the keyboard IMO, touchscreen should be optional.

It's the OS design. The level of customization needed to the OS to support this in an on-going fashion (with updates and such) is just not sustainable for phones that are one time investments, at least for a small vendor.

What you want is a desktop OS on a phone.

I have never wanted to have touch-based scrolling in my desktop keyboard like the OP suggested for Spotify interaction.
