Some designs look great on paper, but after thinking about this image for a little bit, I must say that I’m not entirely convinced that it is going to be usable. I own a Nokia E71, so I can relate to the basic form factor of this device.

Many designs get submitted for patents every year and its quite common that the applied for designs don’t make it to market, but it’s always interesting to see the trait of thought within the Nokia camp. I for one am glad that they are looking at a QWERTY solution with a large screen!
