While that is great and agree with that. I want the device to come with the most user friendly OS available so I can recommend the device to more people here at TMO and in real life. And also get an easier time to find potential backers. While a geek device is cool and all, we are not enough to make it happen.

That means android or sailfish. While I don't like it currently, it's basically the only path currently. But sailfish has a long way to be able to handle a landscape qwerty slider.

And to be honest. The hardware is much more difficult issue. Where to find a working slider mechanism?
