    No way! The corners MAKE this thing!

    Ziro1, I hate to ask, but what aspect ratio does that keyboard variant wind up with?

    (both concepts look awesome, btw...)

    I found a site that calculates aspect ratios, and this is what I got.

    Screen size is 720x970 and aspect ratio is: 72:97. I don't know if that's a realistic size, I know how to design them, but no clue about ratios, sorry

    If you could keep the ratio to 16:9 then that would be perfect....
    At the moment you have an aspect ratio of 4:3 970x720

    All you need to do is slap on the Passport keyboard and you have 1280x720 ;-)

    Thank you, but if you do 16:9 wouldn't that make the phone huge in length wise with a keyboard?

    Ahhhh, well that's where the 3-row kb design of the Passport starts making sense. Do your design with that keyboard and 16:9 might not be so ponderous.

    That's probably why they killed the Milan slider; doing a full Z10-sized phone with a full keyboard sliding out beneath it likely made it pretty awkward.

    This is the tricky dance between design and engineering.

    A 4:3 display is nice, however it is not the media consumption standard.

    Making it 1:1 is sending a message and providing a very big screen area.

    16:9 is the standard unfortunately and it is quite hard to achieve with a full keyboard and a CandyBar design....

    Therefore the passport compromise and smaller 1:1 screens

    Ziro, redesign the concept with the passport keyboard and a 16:9 screen and you have a winner!

    Very nice design, I really like these Octo design corners, it sets the phone apart from the market standard, and would arguably make holding it easier. I've yet to hold a passport or Z3 but the square corners are odd and seem uncomfortable, whereas this is designed to fit nicely in your hand

    Yes, it will be more big...

    The 3-row keyboard is like a few millimeters shorter than the full keyboard, it doesn't actually make much of a difference...
