looks like a shit brick. I don't really like the idea of having 0 physical buttons and have everything gesture based. Though, I DO love the fact that you can connect it to your monitor and have it turn into a mini-desktop.

It looks like it has power and volume buttons, how is it any different from every other phone made since 2008?

Err, well when playing a game or being on a website or something, I'd be pretty pissed if I was trying to scroll down, and HEY, LETS LOOK AT YOUR FACEBOOK STATUS FOR THE 50th TIME.
idk, I hate dealing with iPhones simply because they don't have a fixed menu/back button. So, guess I'm a little biased on that regard.

I love the design. And the OS itself is pretty good as well.

Im pretty sure that gestures won't work in games.

Oh I see what you mean, android has fixed menu/back buttons even if they aren't physical.
