Yes.. at the current advertised price, it would have to be a significant
"sale" before I make a serious consideration.
Based on the models holding the unit to their heads, it seems borderline
larger than I would like a phone to my head.
I thought my Blackberry Q10 was heavy at 135g (majority of the weight is
the 2100mAh battery), but the gemini is a bit more than twice as heavy.
Not sure if I would want to carry that in a suit pocket.
Is the battery of the gemini removable?

You are very disciplined! :)

I warmed up the to Q10 keyboard very quickly. VERY smart idea to have the
little raised corners on the keys.

Never heard of that one. It *is* nice and small. But the price isn't! LOL
How would you do texting with it? C = 3 presses on 2? F = 3 presses on
3? No thanks.
I am finding that the Q10 is a fine temporary phone when I need to call my
office to check messages or to have on hand for emergency when travelling.
I ordered a genuine belt holster for it. I really can't complain since
the phone was practically just given to me when the previous owner damaged the
usb charging port. Instead, I just have two extra batteries and one
of them is in an external charger at the ready.

I could do something similar, but I refuse to subscribe to caller-id
features on my POTS phone. The base price would be over $100/yr. I don't
care about receiving calls that much to justify that.

You're a flirt! LOL.
I don't have the dicipline to write cheques, stuff envelopes and mail them out
in time before the due dates anymore.

Thanks for the links. They were an interesting visit.
