My main phone is a slider. Lucky my phone has Music keys,gaming keys, dpad/touch scroll wheel, soft keys, menu key, answer/drop call keys and a media key all on the top slider so i hardly ever have to open the slider unless texting, its so convenient to just use it closed especialy when surfing the web, listening to music and when on a call. I would be so annoyed if i had to open the slider everytime i want to do something that doesnt require the numeric keypad all the time like web surfing or listening to music. The point here though is they may keep the dpad where it is its fine as long as it has a full touchscreen but this is not the case. Why do SE have to force the user to open the slider all the time? Why dont they give US THE CONSUMER the choice and convenience? Plus they could have put a Keylock switch like they had in the W900 and P990-i think ,so atleast you simply flick the switch when unlocking the TS or keyboard. Theres no excuse for what theyve done here. This phone has SOOO much potential, but its wasted due to a half done TS.

May be someone who has used such a design, like the Sharp phones se_dude posted, could comment on how / if the design is unusable. I'd like to hear their thoughts.
If the phone had full touchscreen, the design wouldn't be so unusable.
What in your experience can it not do that makes the design crippled and unusable?
May be you could upload a video to Youtube and show us this difficulty you are having because, correct me if I'm wrong but none of the reviewers who have had this phone in their hands seem to have expressed this so called difficulty that renders the design unusuable.
Come on! You said that. So I wrote what do we need to understant from that ( ops, sorry, you've removed that from post
). I like the design and I don't think is unusable. That was your point.

Gucci.011: Make no mistake, I'd LOVE to see full touch in the web browser on this phone. That is the only problem i have with this, but it's not a deal breaker for me. (You can play music, videos, whatever with the slider closed).
I am a future customer for this phone and I do not see the SERIOUS usability issues many doomsday pundits are talking about. Is it a perfect solution? No. But neither is a flip phone and some people like it. Same difference.
Oh, and as per GSMA, there IS an unlock button, on top of the phone.

If you're referring to the current stage of the TS then yes, it's a wasted potential. But maybe we should reserve bitterness until its final version?

No bitterness,just absolute disappointment. About the keylock, sorry i read your most wrong synn thought you had said you need to slide the phone to unlock.

Well yeah I would be quite disappointed too if this is the final version of the touchscreen function.

That is why it is crippled to me.
@goldenface
The jog dial would help in eliminating the need to slide open the phone to read messages amongst other tasks. The d-pad comes into play when you have to carry out more advanced operations.
This way the phone retains its A2 traits with its limited touchscreen while also keeping the d-pad where it is. Otherwise they should've made it a full touchscreen.

I'm a fan of the jog dial too, but I don't think it'll return. They've had had problems with longevity with it in the past.
Also, please refer to the above posts again. It's not as "crippled" as the post you quoted make it seem.
