If it's anything like my alarm clock I would not recommend it.

Yoda says, "Impressed not I am."

A couple of the comments, though, are amusing.

- Nintendo called, they want their game boy back.

- Remind me why anybody is impressed? It looks like a aluminum and glass brick.

If I'm going to spend that much then I'd get the Bang & Olufsen "Serene Mobile"

Mobile devices are the worst place to use finger print biometric... If the phone is lost or stolen, the crocks will potentially get a copy of my unique and un-alterable finger print from the flash memory stored in the phone... along with other sensitive info/contact.

I expected no more from a company who has not figured out how to do iPod or Bluetooth. But they do make great cars.
