"Superfluous at best..."
Pros: Hmmmm... Build quality? Dock?
Cons: Mostly just the obvious one...
Summary: Initial Disclosure: I DO NOT OWN THIS DEVICE.
If you'd like to stop reading now, feel free...
OK, if you're still with me, let me ask you a rhetorical question about this phone: WHY? If you're a wealthy poser, why wouldn't you get a stupid expensive phone that actually possesses some useful features? Say, a Vertu or a diamond-encrusted RAZR maybe. Because honestly, is there any other reason for this phone to exist? Oh wait - it automatically syncs with your stupid expensive B&O home phone. Perfect! Add in that goofy round keypad layout and you have a real winner!
As for its perceived aesthetic value, beauty is obviously in the eye of the beholder, but I don't get that either. It looks like a folding tape measure or maybe a cigar cutter or something. Garage door remote, perhaps? It looks sort of interesting in the dock, I suppose, but... Is that really a big selling point?
$1200 - $1500 for this phone is just comical. There will certainly be those who will buy it precisely BECAUSE it costs that much. But again, if you're going to drop that kind of scratch - why not get a phone that looks and performs better?
