A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Ok this is sick. And for that price
They also have a newer model Astro Slide, but it's significantly more expensive and has availability problems. I've had one since Christmas or so, though, and I'm happy with it. CC is fine as well, and indeed the sale seems quite good.
(I used to have their first phone as well, but truly AS would have been a much better first device to bring to the market, there really aren't any fundamental flaws in it in my view.)
What do you think are the chances of them being around in 5 years time? I really want to get this as my next phone but for now I'm happy with my current phone (King Kong Mini 2)
I guess currently it doesn't seem that great, given they've been unable to fulfill their Indiegogo campaign due to manufacturing woes. I hadn't realized how lucky I was to receive this unit :).
I do hope they'll survive, though, because I want to keep seeing qwerty phones—and have some support for this one..
