Ohh, Ok that makes sense, Thanks Bro !
Oh, and also I read up on the site, Thanks for the link
They posted a chart showing the control behavior recently. Very cool:

They also confirmed that everything is still on target for shipping next month.
I see the same thing, however, I would be worried that it would be a huge draw on the battery.
I considered that, too. Also curious about the possible moire noise getting picked up so close to the speaker.
Again, my minds eye just sees that moire going as long as I'm yapping on it. I'd be willing to sacrifice battery life to indulge my childhood fantasy.
Regardless, this is getting us pretty damned close to what we've waited for, for decades. :thumbsup
I'm sure we'll all be tinkering with them in numerous ways.

I bought one from startrek.com and it was packaged properly. Later I bought two from think geek on sale and they were put in a box that was too big and only one air pillow that did nothing. Both phaser boxes had dented corners but TWC packaging is so good the phasers weren't damaged. I do however hate having damaged product boxes.
I have my communicator pre-ordered from trek.com.

Yeah it was the Monkey at thinkgeek who was shipping them in tyvek envelopes, a lot of damaged ones shipped from them. :rolleyes
StarTrek.com shipped in nice new boxes! :thumbsup

Yeah, but that's perfectly achievable if you're not using the bluetooth or messing with the features. Dormant after a few moments is fine if nothing is pressed or otherwise being utilized while the grid is open. I'd just like it to keep spinning as long as I'm using it....
I'm of course down no matter what. Just more or less voicing my dream scenario as far as features go. :thumbsup

I feel the same way, I want it to work as long as I have it open. I can understand it turning off if you get a call but I want it running if I have it open. I also get that some people are going to display this open and don't want the batteries running down so I hope there is some sort of middle ground.
I'll ultimately be cool as long as it holds up to regular use. I'll be using that thing frequently and unapologetically in public.
My wife is probably already working on her 'look' as I excuse myself (while dropping my right shoulder and kicking my head to 45 degrees) to take a call.
I'm sure we'll figure out tweaks/hacks later on.
