      It was way ahead of its time, and nobody wanted it.

        Totally sounds like a waste of computing power and therefore battery life, but the concept of fascinating

          A great deal of time and effort was put into making the system very power efficient and performant. Its battery life was actually commensurate with the other flagship phones with which it was intended to compete.

          Of course, it could have been even better if the 3D feature weren’t there.
