    You know what I'd love to see from Lenotorola?

    A phone like the V3i/V8, running Android or - possibly - BlackBerry 10. That, in my head, is making me very excitable.

      Lenotorola?

      Or Motoronovo?

      There's only one way to find out.

        Motorovo. Rolls off the tongue a bit better.

      Wolfetone's suggestion: V3i/V8 running Android or BlackBerry 10

      "You know what I'd love to see from Lenotorola?

      Since it can run any Android app anyway (though perhaps with a bit of difficulty in obtaining some of them) — and can do so at essentially native speeds — and since it has the elegance, efficiency and solidity of Neutrino underneath the hood, my vote would be for BlackBerry 10.

    Not just a phone... okay mostly just a phone.

    Can I finally expect an update to my e815?

    Still the best phone I've ever owned.

    "prophesises" (in URL)

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/11/25/lenovo_prophesises_moto_profits/

    Oh, for the love of Christ! It's prophesies, not "prophesises" or "prophesizes"! Three syllables, not four!

    http://www.onelook.com/?w=prophesy

    The verb is to prophesy, not "prophesise" or "prophesize". It is roughly pronounced "prof-ess-eye" or "prof-e-sigh". With no goddam s or z sound at the end of the word!!!

    (Prophecy — with a c instead of an s — is the noun (and the gift!), and is roughly pronounced "prof-e-see".)

      Normally I'd mock the prescriptivism, but I had to upvote this one for sheer exuberance. Well ranted.
