Old, unigenious design!
Why would anyone give up screen realestate and go for a square screen instead of the standard PPC 240x320 dimension, when it was proven that it can be easily done: SE P910i (Symbian, though) - great solution to combine keypad, keyboard AND large screen. New, upcoming HTC-devices with slide-out keyboard - great! Samsung slide-out devices ... you name it.
If you just need to read some SMS-like-few-character e-mails, a device like this might be OK - but then you may want to go to a toystore rightaway.
For anything more serious, especially for calendars & tasklists that are filled with multipe entries as for most busy people, this kind of square-screen devices will prove unsatisfactory after the first hype with the gadget is over.
