    Surprisingly not intensly gimped in the hardware department. The layout is pretty hot and would get a lot of looks if that is what you are after(quite likely if you are buying something like this). Why would you need to open your laptop if the batteries are dead? #dell

    I actually really like the angled keyboard. I think it would be great while it's sitting on a desk and as the previous article pointed out it would also keep your lap cool... But the whole "swipe this thing to open" genie in a bottle deal has me confused.

    Do we really want an option that adds $200-$300 (complete guess) on a Windows laptop? Isn't that why many of us buy Windows PCs? More for the money and all that jazz?

    @UnderLoK: Eh, a heat sensor and solonoid latch probably adds $10 at the very most to the build cost of the machine. By the time you can add it to Dell's cart, it probably bumps the price up by $30 or so. #dell

    iDon't believe motorola done good here... this thing is Verizon-only CDMA nonsense?

    iPhone is locked? iPhone is not open source?

    iPhone can be jailbroken and used anywhere in the world on the world standard GSM network. Will this?

    uh. no.

    Same story.

    Sure Verizon has this huge network. It's old.

    @pz: Yup, not much good if I can't use it as a phone. At any rate Moto are bringing the Cliq over here (and renaming it to Dext in the process, confused the hell out of me when I saw an ad for that until I learnt about the rename) so hopefully this'll be here by the time my contract is up. #motoroladroid

    This phone actually has me excited. I would really love the iPhone, but this may have to suffice since AT&T's coverage sucks ass where I live. At least I can get decent coverage with Verizon. I'll have to give up US Cellular, but their phone selection sucks balls anyway... #motoroladroid

    "It also will have a "Notification Panel," which could be a light like the alert light BlackBerrys have had for years"

    ........*blink, blink*

    .........It's the notification shade. It's one of the single coolest features of the Android OS. And it's been there since day one. Guys. Come on. #motoroladroid

    I have to admit that I like the little green blinkenlight that the G1 uses when you have new mail. iPhone is just too cool for that school. #motoroladroid

    @Joe Zydeco: I agree that the LED pretty much rules. Especially being multicolored. I've got it set up so SMS blink magenta, cyan for twitter updates, green for emails/IMs. Actually I need to see if I can distinguish between those last two as well.

    However, I don't think the "Notification Panel" the leaked doc refers to is the LED, like Dan says. I think it's the pull-down notification shade that you pull down from the status bar. The marketing team on this phone, while completely unaware of how scary their commercials are, know Android's real strengths. That shade is fantastic, and really, deserves to be a headlining feature.

    I'm at a loss to explain how it got confused with a blinking light. #motoroladroid

    @OCEntertainment: Agreed on both the LED and the shade - shade is actually one of the killer features of Android, I've only been using it for a week but I don't know how I got along without it before (actually, I do - I just didn't get notified of things).

    Question for you - how are you altering the notification blinks on the LED? Do you have a link to a tutorial? #motoroladroid

    @Lupus_Yonderboy: It's an application specific thing. I use ChompSMS for my text messages and Twidroid for Twitter. Both of them have settings to change the LED color (or Twidroid may make them blue by default, I'm not sure). Depending on what application you're using, it would be different, but poke around in your settings and look for any notification options.

    Chomp actually lets you customize vibration settings, too. When I get a text, it vibrate five times briefly, as opposed to long, sustained vibrations that I get with a phone call.

    These two combined, I usually know exactly what method people are talking to me through whether my phone is in my pocket or across the room. Love it. #motoroladroid

    @fallenyogi: This is honestly the only time I've ever heard that term outside of Star Wars. I hadn't thought about it before today, but that's the only time you saw that term. With the Android platform, the term makes sense, but I guess they thought it was a good idea to pay Lucasfilm for it.

    And I think it was a good decision. It's a name people'll remember. #motoroladroid
