Anybody else notice that "crescent moon" slide channel in the right-most picture? Know what that means? Mechanically it will slide open with your thumb with a curving motion. This in contrast to most slide-out QWERTY's with a linear action. Should be very nice!
I believe that this won't swing in an arching motion. I think the desighn of the arc is to give tention to some sort of spring that holds the screen open and shut. I may be wrong but I can't imagine that it would actualy arch while it opened.

Oooo nice spot. Can't wait to see how that pans out (no pun intended.)
