Was the company named after the phone or the founder’s hair?

Oh, I get it. It's because they don't have any phones on their heads.

Can you replace the battery?

Only minimally

For $400 I could buy one or two refurbished iPhones and not use them.

I think it's a great idea. I'm really tempted by a phone with primarily productivity functionality and a qwerty keyboard.

I've been following this and am intrigued, but the combo of the high price, crowdfunding, and lack of even a functioning prototype to show off has me skeptical enough to not throw down money in advance for one.

If it actually comes out and they don't go bankrupt during the design/manufacturing process, and if the phone is actually good, then I'd definitely consider buying one. I like the concept a lot.

If I wanted a truly minimal phone, I would go for the Rotary Un-Phone.
