Chrome 40, so all I see is menu headings. Anyone got a summary?
Chrome 58 for me. Blank page for ten seconds, then menu headers, but nothing else, appears.

#52"We want to make a device that plays well with others, so here's our new proprietary expansion port!"
Even better, it uses 60GHz wireless to get data across the fraction-of-an-inch gap between the phone and the accessory. That should be a fun one for battery life.

#53This is the first paragraph that shows up when seeing the site in mobile safari: > I know people are going to ask me a lot of questions about why I started this company. Why didn’t I just travel the world, ride my motorcycle, tinker with my robots, hang out at my bakery with friends and family. And to be honest I still do ask myself that sometimes…but not too often. 1. Maybe I'm not geeky enough, but I don't know who…
And that's absolutely fine, the site wasn't built for you
It filled its purpose of filtering those that are further on the adoption curve away

#54Earlier quoted context omitted.
Website seemed quite functional for me on my galaxy 7. What were your gripes?
On desktop Safari I can see only the top menu. The rest of the page is blank. Works well on Chrome.
Chrome 58, top menu only (only appears after ten seconds). Clicking menu items, nada.

#55Seems like a great idea in a space that needs more competition. Apple has a monopoly on designing complete user experiences using technology and I'm tired of it. Can't wait to see where this takes us.
Wow what? A space that needs more competition? Android phones???

#56> Your phone is your personal property. It’s a public expression of who you are and what you stand for. Just no. It's just a tool that I use to communicate.
It's also not really our personal property when we can't use and repair it at will.

#57This is the first phone since the iPhone that triggers an "I want that" feeling. Why the negativity?

#58„Why 360 changes everything“
Where does all the excitement for 360° videos come from? In its current implementation it adds absolutely nothing for the viewer and strips away the possibility for the creator to tell a story by choosing what the viewer sees.
Useful for VR yes, on a flat screen just no.

Yeah, this didn't make sense to me. It's the most important real-estate on the page, and not only is he humble-bragging, but he's instilling some doubt into his commitment to the project. "And to be honest I still do ask myself that sometimes.."
It's also so informal and personal that it made me think that what followed was going to be kind of a blog entry, or a simple and static announcement page, not what was actually a pretty compelling product walkthrough.
But then at the end I scrolled back to the top, and was like, was this actually effective? It doesn't read like marketing speech, and I did end up reading the entire page. Maybe they know something that I don't? But it still seems so misplaced among all of the obvious craftsmanship that went into the rest of the page.
