They should have designed it with a slideout keyboard that only has an ON-OFF switch on it.

@frigg: "...a slideout keyboard that only has an ON-OFF switch on it."

Or, better still, sliding it open reveals only a single ON switch; closing the slider shuts the phone back OFF.

Nice and redundant keypad ya got there. C'mon Moto. I know you CAN design nice shit, but you just flat-out refuse to. For the love of Jeff...

i hope they are just trying to help the dumbest of dumb phones evolve. you know, those phones that are given out free with contract sorta deal. that is the only thing that makes sense to me. as far as competition to the iPhone, Pre, G1, etc. definitely fallin' flat on its face.

Yeah, I have to agree with you. To me the only point of a slide-out keyboard is to have either (a) actual keys your fingers can find by touch and/or (b) more than just number keys, such as special function keys or even a QWERTY layout. This has neither, and certainly nothing that could not have EASILY been replicated on the touchscreen itself and WITHOUT the bulk or mechanical failure points of a slide-out.

@bosskev: ...and my comment was a reply to jdale above, his/her comment: "It wins my vote for most pointless slide-out keyboard." Not sure why this did not attach as a reply...?

It looks like a suppository... you'd probably get more pain trying to use than phone than using it as a suppository.

@SJRNWT: "It looks like a suppository..."

Perhaps that's the idea. It's actually an ergonomic design, a phone meant for people with their heads up their asses. Certainly a big market for it then.

From now on, when you answer a call from someone that sounds terribly muffled, you'll know exactly what model of phone that caller is using.
