Phone aside I can't be the only person who finds the whole scrolling/animation thing just a bit obnoxious, can I? Such a slow way to get to the information.

Well the site is giving a nice Express.js error, bit IIRC he said you could make a cheap Android phone but were then engaged in a "race to the bottom".

#24How much does it cost? I can't find it anywhere on the website, not even on the preorder page.
From their fb page: YotaPhone goes on sale at 19,990 rubles or 499 euros. For our Russian fans, it is available for order now on YotaPhone.com. From mid-December it will be available in retail stores in Germany and Russia and in the online store in Austria, Germany, France and Spain.

#27The "Scroll down" hint wasn't obvious enough for me. I'd also show both screens as soon as you land on the page, as that is the unique feature of this phone and it took me quite some time before I actually found it.

#28I think it's kind of fun. I love that it has an always on wallpaper.
Nokia used to have this, and they recently added it to their newer Lumia models, called "Glance". It's cool, can show time, wallpaper and notifications.

I swear Logitech were onto something when they built flywheel mousewheels...

Seems like a real work in progress type of phone ;-)
