lol 5.4" screen phone is going to have a slider which will add another ~2" of height

it appears the screen slides up rather than the keyboard sliding out lol

remember for reference that iphone 6+ is a 5.5" phone

i think i'd rather have it be that the keyboard slides out, because that thin part can probably take (and be reinforced for) more wear and tear than a digitizer + screen

i could be wrong though

keyboard slides out vs phone slides up is just a glass half empty/half full thing. it's literally the same motion/construction

yeah i guess if the slide is the whole length of the phone it makes no difference

why did i think it was otherwise, duh

6s 64GB + Lightning dock = $1,229.44 after tax.

Consider yourself lucky.

CLAM DOWN posted:

Why would anyone get this :psyduck:

CLAM DOWN posted:

Because other phones are a fraction of the cost and significantly better. And lol if you think that a phone will still be worth anything after 3 years.

CLAM DOWN posted:

Well, I'm not unhappy, but you can choose to interpret it that way. I'm simply pointing out that you're a complete idiot for blowing $1200+ on a loving cell phone.

CLAM DOWN posted:

It's not an Apple thing and I have no idea why you'd think that. Anyone spending that much on a cell phone needs to have their head examined.

CLAM DOWN posted:

Oh my god it was about the price, not the phone type, you were the one who started that

I got so sick of my Leap being such a piece of poo poo that I mooched a Z30 from a departing employee and it's sooooo nice to have a decently working work phone again. I'm hopefully going to burn my hardware upgrade on the Venice when it comes out :swoon:

Kenny Logins posted:

Uh, sorry to say, but current rumor has it that the Venice is going to be $750 USD.

Or, you know, the same price as a 64GB iPhone 6S.

i don't know that they do, but assuming a rumored price online without any indicated denomination is cad instead of usd is pretty dumb, in general

i've also seen a rumored price of £529 (from techradar) which matches up with approx. $750 usd
