In line with various other phone related threads recently.





This is one outstanding idea, there are various other options that kind of offer similar features (such as tablets + keyboard attachments, tablets that do have the cellular modules) but none that I have seen offer it as such a complete package.

_b all we need now is rollup OLED screens to go with this and i think we'll be set for the mobile future.

If you don't believe that copying not approved by the publisher is just like kidnapping and murder, you might prefer not to use the word “piracy”. Instead use Neutral terms such as “unauthorized copying” or “prohibited copying”

Nice, looks like its based off the transformer prime, that screen detaches too.
Anyone used the transformer prime?

Nice, that's quite innovative.

Everyone harps on the Samsung bandwagon but ASUS seems to be the one with fresh ideas.

Looks terrible to be honest.

This has been in the rumor mill for about a year and had higher hopes.

Instead we get a phone with a phone that is physically huge, a slow processor and a terrible resolution. The rest of it is going a bit far and just seems gimmicky and fiddly.

More proper discussion has taken place in the proper form here: http://www.gpforums.co.nz/thread/442218/?s=

Lol are you serious ? The S4 Snapdragon shits all over all the competition atm including the hyped up Tegra 3 http://www.anandtech.com/show/5563/...nvidias-tegra-3

If anything, the processor is one of the main redeeming points. Yes I'm quite disappointed at the screen as well but I guess the logic is that you are using the Tablet when you want to watch movies/intensive web browisng etc. But really qHD pentile.. I'm starting to move away from favoring Super AMOLED screens as the IPS stuff coming out these days is really nice.

It's also just plain ugly as well tbh.

Asus should just stick with making mainboards and graphics cards.

Don't see a problem with the price?

You are getting a high end tablet and a high end phone, did people not expect it to cost as much as those two items on their own?

Still wouldn't use one if they gave it to me for free though, no desire for this gimmick!

It's really just a screen that I'm plugging a phone into. Even at the price I'm still considering it though :p
