Why no body is talking about this great phone?

A good question. I'm not an Android user, but the K900 hardware is fantastic. I am particularly interested in seeing Intel come into its own in the phone space.

Give me that with Windows Phone and wireless charging and I'd be on board.

Do you know of a phone with good wireless charging? One of the main reasons I bought a Nexus 4 was for the wireless charging, but my phone now seems to slip off the charger. It's really poor design.

That's strange since the rubber on my Nexus 4 charger is very tacky, almost too sticky. If your phone is slipping then try cleaning the dust off the rubber on the charger to make it tacky again.

How long have you had it? The rubber on mine was very sticky at first, but now it just slips off. (I've had it since November) I'm wondering if there is some type of adhesive that comes off.

I've had mine since May. Probably the rubber coating can be destroyed if you clean it too aggressively. Don't rub it with a cloth or an anti-static wipe. That will just cause small fibers to stick to the tacky rubber.

In my case the charger sometimes sticks to the phone when I pick it up.

It's great on my Nokia 920. I've never had it slip off the charger and I won't go back to wired charging with whatever I get next.

Maybe because Intel+Mobile isn't cool enough these days? Or it's Intel's first large field test and they don't want to risk bad publicity just in case...

It's an untested platform. The physical design is not amazing. It doesn't have the default Android Google experience. Expensive compared to the Nexus 4.

Beats me. The only reviews I see of this phone are in the middle east. Maybe Lenovo didn't send out tester models to Gizmodo, Ars Technica, etc.

Well, a phone that doesn't have NFC ? -1 for me.

This thing sounds like a phablet to me
