I asked myself: do I really want a portrait-oriented phone that runs a relatively open GNU/Linux core but a completely closed swipe-y "UX", has been declared dead by the manufacturer before its release and isn't even officially available where I live?

It was mostly an impulse thing, but I pulled the trigger. Although it's no replacement for my N810, my new Prē 3 turned out to be much better than I expected and a great companion to it. And at least it has a physical keyboard, and was priced very reasonably for what it is.
