BTW, folks, did anyone try to drop N950/E7? is angled slider mechanism as solid, as the 'flat' N900 slider? I've dropped my N900 once down the stairs, 5 times it hit the ground before stopping, slider opened before final hit. but still, even after 8 years, the slider mechanism is as firm as it was the day I've bought it.

I'd prefer to have a solid 'flat' mechanism like the N900 had instead of 'angled' slider if it's not as solid as flat one. I realize that modern phone most likely wouldn't survive 5 drops (bezel-less capacitive pseudo-glass screen is much weaker than framed plastic resistive screen from N900), but even if the screen and/or glass breaks, I'd hope the slider mechanism to survive.

P.S. previously I had the N95 slider and it wasn't solid at all comparing to N900. was pretty much loose even without dropping. still, N900 3-row keyboard opens way less than the Fx phone, so I guess the less of the body comes out, the more solid it is.
I have used both the E7 and the N950, believe me, the slider on those phones were phenomenal! And believe me, Fx would even have a better slider. (How do I know this? Maybe some angel came and told me about it )
