hey, long time lurker.

interesting thread, people cant decide on the having the little android guy or not, how about this, its not full on, but hes still there.

It is unprecedented. I'm not aware of any other phones on the market that would consider breaking such fundamental branding practices.

That's more reasonable and neater... the green android that occupies over the earpiece looks ahem "loud"... this is balanced IMHO

+1 from me! :mellow:

[Guest DannyDanny]

I actually like the exisitng screen .. 'San francisco' doesnt bother me.

But It would be cool to not have any logos or writings but they come in different colors.

Very good design. But, I would rather buy one with "android" written instead of blade. Can you make the mock of that one with the same font used in following model.

the one i did before was just a very quick 'shop, i certainly have no plans to produce it. that shouldnt stop anyone else though (i'd buy it :mellow:).

using the android font is, as described earlier, legally grey. using it in a 'shop is no worry, but putting it into production might come back to bite you in the future.

lol looking at it now i dont think it even lines up properly. meh.

[Guest JT_daniel]

he one with the "BLADE" written looks better than the ones with "ANDROID" IMO. It is the Blade that we own after all, not Android. lol

[Guest john.smith]

Good on you mate! Actually I really like your idea for having different colour frames.

The only problem is that, sadly, the minimum quantity for each design/colour is 5000pcs for production. I don't think there is enough demand for any single colour for San Francisco/Blade.

Had a phone call with SOHOGOPHER guys this morning, the samples are ready. I will post up some photos later this evening.

Fairlight2x: Please check PM for the sample. I will arrange to send you one.

[Guest UK DUDE]

Awaiting with interest!

[Guest thedandyp]

Is there any idea on the timescale that it takes for the samples to be put into preoduction and then up for sale?

[Guest john.smith]

Finally the samples are here. There is still one design (by TCTUK) is missing, but we will have them in stock soon.

Hope to give you the good news in 3-4 days.

blade with droid character looks awesome! can't wait for them!

Very impressed with the quick turnaround, looking forward to seeing how these sell.

Remember that the blade is a small but growing community yet there is still a limited amount of accessories available as most of the big players are cautious about investing in such a small community. Please show your thanks to companies like Sofiz who have taken a real gamble by buying your accessories from them. :mellow:

[Guest N3M35I5]

i'd like to buy some of these, what sort of price are we looking at though?

-N3M

[Guest veehexx]

yeah, im interested in the plain 'BLADE' one, unless a completely plain version is available

prices and availability would be good (if known!).

Edited May 7, 2011 by veehexx

[Guest Ponchos etc]

*bump*

any news? would buy the plain 'blade' one

[Guest Jaboloid]

hey, long time lurker.

Looks good, would be better if the Android man was green rather than white?

[Guest ValiantSaint]

Wow, these look great! I would be interested in one, for sure. When will they be available?

[Guest MightyTree]

This is a great idea :unsure: and the samples look fantastic. I would certainly buy the one with just 'Blade' written on it or an all black one. I may not buy the one with the green Android man on it (no disrepect to those who like it and the design)

If you had to go with one design, I would say the Blade one/ any plain type desing without a logo/without the green android man, as I think you would maximise your selling potential. Those who like the android man and those who don't would still buy the one without the android man, whereas I don't think the reverse may be true. Just personal opinion and trying to give a view, but good work in coming up with these designs

Look forward to buying them so let us know of any news!

I completely agree. The blade community is small enough that it makes commercial sense to cater to the masses by producing a more generic design rather than one that appeals to certain sector of the community.

[Guest john.smith]

Hope you guys haven't forgotten us. Yes it's been delayed and stuff, but finally there you go, the three types that people (hopefully) will like.

We didn't go for the plain black one because, as an OSF user myself, it would be odd to have a totally "unbranded" Android device. I mean, it's a good machine, respectable performance with decent value, so we should be proud to be a Blade owner!

OK too much words from me, here's the photo:
