The anti chin could prove useful when browsing in landscape mode while not pushing the 4 side buttons… maybe ?
.
Did moto put the back button on the left instead of the right as in the first leaked pictures ?
.
i do want this phone !

Maybe the anti-chin will make typing on a tactile keyboard easier? We all kinda remember how difficult it was typing on the G1 with that massive Jay Leno there.

Perhaps this will alleviate it? Although having NO chin would be even more practical perhaps.

I don’t really have a clearly defined opinion of the anti-chin. This is about as much as I’ve thought about it:

-it doesn’t look bad
-it may or may not serve a purpose from a usability perspective
-as long as it serves *some* purpose…even if it’s just battery life, I’m ok with the extra space it takes up in my pocket

The anti-chin isn’t anything new, and while I may be wrong, I would be willing to bet that on the “tablet” version of this phone most likely the anti-chin won’t be there. So if you don’t want it, just wait for that. Personally I can’t wait to be able to march across the street and pick one up.

its a slider phone. maybe makes it easier to slide it open. who gives a damn. they just need to release this phone or even say something about it.

The design is so awesome. I’m waiting for more info before deciding between this and the Moment, but I love the design of this thing. It’s very simple, yet different.

yeah, i gotta say the anti-chin is worse than the chin. way worse.

There are lots of picture of this phone, but none has shown the home screen. Something is up here.

whats up with the recessed chin? looks odd. pretty nice phone otherwise. kinda reminds me of a dare though.

If the Sholes / Droid / Tao comes with Android OS 2.0, so much for that so-called “Eclair” launching in Q2 2010.

Thank you! I can’t see posted pictures either! I thought the source was blocked by my ISP or something…

@Carl C

I’m sure it will be resolved shortly. Looks like there are still some residual effects from the recent downtime. In the meantime, go ahead and click the link Rob so graciously supplied :)
