The phone is upside down and even the phones logo.... (From the first page under "Never Miss A Thing") http://i.imgur.com/7w427r8.png Seems like a real work in progress type of phone ;-)

Man, standing on its head is the logo of Yota[1], so it's a part of the design ;-)

The "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. (If you don't scroll but just click on the links you just see 1 screen at a time. If you aren't really paying attention you don't notice that there are 2 different ones)

It drives me nuts this new fashion of braking the scrolling, it's completely uncalibrated on chrome, I scrolled down the equivalent of a freaking book to get to the end.

Doesn't work at all with 2-finger scrolling on Safari for Mac.

Uhm.. I fail to understand your point.

The screenshot you post is of the BACK side of the phone, with the eInk/EPD display, right? Which puts the camera (the 'back' camera) at the bottom.

The picture you're comparing to that is probably the FRONT of the device, with another (..front) camera and no logo.

Did you miss the whole point of the phone or did I miss the source of your amusement?

There's a hint? I still can't find it.

No, I'm not trolling. No indication that scrolling does anything, there's even a footer at the bottom of the page. Then _when_ i scroll nothing happens for a while until i scroll far enough.

I missed the fact that each link has multiple screens and you need to "scroll". I was clicking on one section at a time. Otherwise it's awesome.

Didn't know I had to scroll down till I read this comment. Maybe a stronger call to action to scroll would be nice.

There is one in the top right corner (underneath the language part) for me. Although it does seem to disappear whenever you start scrolling.
