Indeed it is refreshing and is leads the industry forward by leaps and bounds.

Clearly an impartial review.

On the other hand, I like the Other Half concept, and I'd be interested with a more beefed-up version in a Galaxy Note form factor, with a stylus.

Screen resolution is literally the last thing I care about. Give me an extra hour of battery life & I'll take a lower rs display. Give me an extra day of battery life & I'm in heaven.

to be fair its only 399, so they dont seem to target top of the line.

And the Google Nexus 5 is $350, unlocked with no restrictions.

These people need to make money selling the actual phone. Comparing Nexus pricing makes no sense (well, it does of course from the consumers perspective...)

I'd avoid using the nexus devices as a base price, google doesn't need to make profit on them so they can run them low.

Nokia Lumia 520 which has similar resolution (480 x 800) is 79$ and in fact you can get one for 49$ today. Off contract. I know that HN is not fond of WP but just comparing hardware here.

Despite the resolution being lower, the Lumia also has a much slower CPU, GPU, 5MP vs 8MP camera etc...

And the Moto G is $180...
