This is what I’ve been waiting for. Although I use an iPhone 5 right now, I’ve never really gotten used to the fact that I’m carrying around a $700, extremely fragile computer in my pocket. After a while, it feels like you have a baby bird in your hands instead of a communications tool. I miss the days of the battle-hardened flip phones, so if the Torque can bring back even a fraction of that durability, I’m down.
Is there any chance of arrival of this phone to Asian (Indian) market? I am fond of such tough and durable products. Would like to have this phone.
