That is an interesting idea actually. We all know Apple's design ideas are pretty good, and some android phones you don't want to take out of your pocket. But on the other hand, Android is a great system, and iOS...not so much. So you can have 2 different phones from that. One sexy phone with awesome OS, or an Ugly one with crap OS. I present to you, this phone:

Is that what you meant?

iphones couldnt handle the power of android

i hate iphones but if they combinded there power with android that phone would dominate the 2 most popular oses features in one phone

You would need a dual boot phone, preferably a Samsung and have iOS running flawlessly. Name it the iWin

Hark at him, with his fancy new 80s cube puzzle avatar!

I think jaszek has the right idea, I mean its not as though apple even make their phones or components, so all it would take is a logo swap at foxconn and a optimised version of android and BAM. of course the ifanboys would then complain about the poor build quality as it no longer has a partially eaten fruit logo on the back.

In the real world.. If you're just looking for an android that is aesthetically pleasing.. Motorola seem to be doing a good job on that front. My Atrix looks smart, and the new razr is all fancy!

just buy a samsung, it looks like the iphone and it runs android

I'll only put it this way- iOS' power management, maybe battery itself, everything else android / non-Applicular origin. Lets face it, right now, our beloved toys only lack that functional amount of battery life to be, well, functional and reliable.

There is one...

I have heard of the iDroid project, but it's dead... and extremely buggy.
a discussion can be found here: http://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/228hbo/how_can_we_get_the_idroid_project_rebooted/

Ok, I'm not sure why you resurrected a thread that has been dead for over 2.5 years but I think it's time to officially kill it.

Dude these concepts always look the same. Why do these concepts often have "flat" buttons. Why do they appear to be paper thin?

That models looks crappy anyway. And hey there is not even an X2 for sale yet.
I thought "Rachael" was going to be X5, since SE was going to skip the X3 and X4 due to cultural connotations?

according to leaked info, rachael will be the x3, probably kiki will be the x4. so x5 is free but as the x2/3/4 are not released yet i dont think they will be making a x5 at the mo or in the near future.
the X5 has been out for ages

----------------------------------------------------------
lol i agree most of em look the same, but i do believe future phones will be in a form of whats in the pic, remember the futuristic vehicles which were just concepts a few years ago? 2009 those vehicles are real, just imagine what the phones will look like in 2015, who thought that we would have gps, cameras and be able to watch movies on our mobiles lol, i welcome those flat buttons anytime, once the keyboard is decent... razr had it, but what blown the razr away was the fact that all motorola sold was a thin phone with no functionality, now they wanna play catchup with the razr v8 and v9, too late now...
once the designers and makers get it right, i bet flat buttons can be just as great as raised buttons
its a nice concept, i bet if this was revealed by SE the entire universe would be drooling on their keyboards over this, but hey, its only a concept
haha~flat?thin? Because some one just fabricated it by "photo shop" ,not by CAD,
remember the razr flat and thin style was the wow back then, when every phone was a 'brick'... now what? the iphone is thin, i wont be surprised if apple doesn't release an iphone with a flat keyboard either...look at the kiki, u can bet those buttons are gonna be kinda touch surface of some kinda new innov...
if it can be a thought, it was either done or it can be done

Read the article.
What do you think about it? Is this is a really revolution?
I think this phone looks very nice with a stunning UI. The technical specs are nothing special, but this could be quite a hit i think.
thats a savage ass phone, you kno what would be sick tho if you could change the color of all the LED's on it two from blue to like purple or something. It's linux it should be fully customizable like that
I love the look of this phone. Very appealing. I will be interested in seeing more about it.
This would be the perfect MP3 Player. But for a smartphone, I do not know if it will offer the extreme flexibility of any of the four TRUE smart phones: Symbian S60, Windows Mobile, Android.
Does this phone have a file system, etc? Also, does Palm Pre and Palm Pixi have a file system and file manager too?
But I've seen this phone before, and I was excited, and still am.
I just don't expect it to be smart-centric. I expect it to be more like a Zune HD experience with some "quasi-smart" features like on the iPhone.
Original Poster, I think you should compile links on the first post and make this the official ELSE anticipation and discussion thread.
More Links http://else.bz/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amk7XzgMcTs&feature=related
But there are a few things I would like to know more about this phone.
*Judging by the Flash Videos, the keyboard on the phone sucks (but there are some pretty cool features). But the reason why it sucks is mainly due to the layout and size of the keys both in portrait and qwerty.
*I haven't seen any file manager. Will it be on this phone, and how complex is it?
*Speaker quality?

He was talking about the buttons being on the right side of the phone. Easier for us left-handers to use. I don't think you can change hardware location in settings
Use it upside down maybe!! too bad for you!! Does look interesting, but not entirely better than tab bars and such.. it does have that added sliding left feature and I guess it being capacative would not require much tension from the thumb. I am always up for new technology to push the limits.

Wow, maybe the device will not only have rotate orientation buy also flip orientation. That would be awesome!

			
				
It's all going to come down to how they market this phone. It looks great and definitely has appeal to those of us with a technical background and who love customization. But what carrier will they market it to? Can it be customized to settings that people find interesting such as led colors, programs, etc? and the biggest one: WHO will they allow to carry the operating system. Getting google to back this would be great, getting Nokia to make a phone able to support this would be great, but which one will have the advertising budget to challenge Apple and the like to the duel that will occur when this and the next generation of iphones is released? A small company like Access is going to have a really hard time trying to compete with Motorola, Nokia, Google, Samsung and Apple especially.
I'm sorry for reviving a dead thread, but does anybody know the name of this phone and the maker? I think the phone failed to launch and the maker went out of business and that's making it hard for me to find any information on this. A name should help, thanks.
The Linux based smartphone have actually been out for awhile. I think (Don't hold me to word on this) there is one called tuxphone. But I'm not sure if that's Linux based when I think back on it...

The most thing about Android that is Linux based is it's kernel but a lot of it is actually Java, especially the apps.

You actually went there and compared windows mobile to android hahahah
I am being forced into using the htc hd2 for work.
And windows mobile have to be the biggest piece of **** i have ever had the unfortunate pleasure of dealing with.
The htc hd2 is such an amazing piece of hardware but windows mobile completely kills it.
Why would you even think about doing something like this?
And what software are you talking about? wm more the android?
I cant even find a bank of america, pandora, last.fm simple apps like that for windows mobile.
You are not worthy of the droid.
can a mod please close this thread? it's an obvious troll
hm, who is the troll?
The person who just asked a simple question, or the people who have to run to bash him? Don't think you hard, you might hurt yourself
A dual boot would be kind of cool. The one thing that bothers me the most about android is not having native windows office support. It would be nice to get a real MS office program on my nexus.
I hate the viewers and I'm not really sure I want to try an editing software for $15 which probably is crappy.

I think this may have its own advantages actually...although I did move from the HD2 to the N1 almost solely for Android...it would be nice to be able to use Windows Phone 7 though (thinking that the games for it would be nice, the preview is nice after all)....
Honestly, if someone made some kind of emulation for it, I'd do it just because "my phone can handle it" etc.
I'm sorry, you missed April Fools Day about 29 days ago! FAIL!
Wow I guess android fan boys are just as rabid as the apple ones. Who knew? I know that it goes against logic that someone may actually like windows mobile..
I came from WM to android because its so boring!...
I luv android and its apps!
Yes, steady guys!

Who feels this way?

So I got a Samsung captivate in August cause I was like "yeah, I'm a rebel, go android! Now, at my school, while iPhones are still very popular, androids are popping up all over the school. I am no longer a rebel. and I feel if everyone is going to have the same kind of phone as me, it might as well be the higher probability of sex iphone, right? Anyone else feeling the same way?

I notice more people coming to android over iOS. I think it's a good thing, until they retardedly call every android phone a DROID.
I'm a rebel, I still use a WM6.5 device and a WP7 device.
Next phone is going to be an android phone, after I love my new tablet and modding it... But who cares if you are a rebel or not? The new rebel will be having a bleeding edge ROM on everything to distinguish yourself from the sheep!

Two things:
1. I'm still a rebel for using Android. I'm a rebel because I have rooted, S-OFF'ed, and flashed a cutting edge ROM so sharp, it'll make your girlfriend pregnant.
2. Not that many Android users in Malaysia. Yet.
How does having an android phone making a rebel. Knowing how to use it and customizing it to the best of its ability is what makes you a rebel. Be proud you have one and hack it to no end, Im a rebel because i make my own launcher icons, docks and wallpapers MYTOUCH 4G + Photoshop CS5 = <3

+1 to that.
Any more recommendations like that and I'll have to learn to Photoshop for my own icons
although more people are switching to android, i still feel that i'm a 'rebel' cause i've rooted and customized my inspire 4g.
most android users here in australia are still n00bs and got stock bloatware from their respective telcos
I am a rebel. I went through 3 iterations of the iPhone (2G, 3G, 3Gs) before I got fed up with Apple and switched.
And yes. I HATE people who call all Android Phones Droids. I remember being in an AT&T store when an older women comes in asking if they sell "Droids" there
I'm the proud owner of the fastest current phone on the market .

i have to tell someone everyday that all android os phones are not called droids as they look at me with a stupid look on there face i swear everytime im around someone with a iphone they try and punk me about android so i ask one question what does your (JITTERBUG) i phone do that my android want? they always say well its an iphone! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What do you like?

Im curious on what people like more. What do you like. HTC, Or Samsung. Sense 3./3.5, asop or miui and why. Ill start. HTC and asop. HTC are usually more high quallity feeling. feel more durable then the cheap feeling easyy to break and brick galaxy. Aosp because its light. Has better things to do. More customizeable and user friendly.

Stop being a troll Kevin. EVERYONE'S heard of the Android Source Open Project. Wait... what?
I'm a fan of both. Have both Samsung and HTC, I however have more Samsung devices. Always been a fan since I got the Captivate. I'll be buying both brands though. And I am more for AOSP as well, lighter and more to do like you mentioned.

When I read the abbreviation, I always read it as Asop in my head, even though I know what it stands for. It's just easier than trying to pronounce it the other way.
I like to play games and I am a bigger fan of this game........Playing game is one of mine favorite Hobby.....I have played so many games and all that games are mine favorite...Battlefield 3 and Angry Birds are two most of mine favorite game.....

I knew someone who bred them. You couldn't walk across his lawn without falling over one. They were enormous buggers though and would eat 20lbs of vegetables a night, before eating all the remaining grass and deposing the remains for cleaning up the next day.
True story!
I Like MIUI this is so cool
Samsung, with ASAP SOAP SOPA AOSP. I like HTC too, but they've become boring, and they're pumping out "new" models every single week.
MIUI FTW. Messed around with CM9 beta, but likely MIUI v4 will be my golden ticket.
I like Moto hardware, but I don't like the bloat VZ throws on top of it.

I prefer Samsung phones, but might give HTC a try later this year.
