needs to be a bit thicker and a bit larger screen with a reel keyboard.

 This just makes sense.  Although we currently see the phone world as iOS
 vs Android, it just isn't the case.

 BlackBerry (Z10) is making a come back, keeping its position as a
 communications giant .. business folks who don't need the frills but are
 delighted to pay for great email and messaging.  Apps?  They've a
 translator from Android, so no worries.

 Moz phone.  OK, sure it could fail but there's a lot of energy behind it.

 So now, Amazon.  Well, they have a lot of experience with Android, and
 have modded it to work fine for their Tablet while keeping their brand of
 books and media.  So like RIM, they likely can have their own place in the
 cell phone sun.

 Now anyone wanna bet about Twitter  Facebook?  I bet the odds just got a
 lot better!
