I really like the fit and finish of the device. Looks like they dispensed with the dedicated email, web soft buttons for a larger call/hang-up buttons. Also looks like it might be more tactile than the current version. Overall, the device looks real nice. BGR said the keys were stiffer. That could simply be a pre-production model. It doesn't seem like they strayed too far from the original 9h keyboard.
The top of this phone looks like the Moto QX Ghengis --- more boxy and less curved. The Q9 Naopleon definitely trumps it design wise. The blue looks very slick.
