I remember seeing that concept for the first time. I was amazed. It simply looks stuning, great,professional, atractive. I bet some manufacturer will eventualy copy it at some point.
It's worth noting that whille MSFT is abandoning original Lumia design with sharp corners, there is new company staryed by some former Apple worker, which is just launching smartphone which design is almost like Lumia 735, just a bit tuned up, and people are clearly liking it.

It's also worth noting that Nokia had metal body, premium designed phone, with sharp corners and small bezels. Well, that was McLaren, canceled by MSFT. It could have been launched without 3D touch, but clearly MSFT isn't going into "fashion" direction, so no need to blame Nokia...
Also, it's happend a lot of times with WPs, that what is disliked at first, is loved after. People hated hamburgers, now I see them asking for them back, wanted hubs but now appreciate that everything is app in store, and so on...
Personally, phones doesn't look premium for me, ok bigger one (cityman) clearly better looking. Talknan looks like some old android Lg... They aren't ugly , but aren't 700$ pretty.
I won't buy them for sure, but I hope they'll be priced well, they need to be inexpensive so could compete with M9, OnePlus Two, G4, etc. My opinion is they'll fail as iPhone competitor and shouldn't try like that.
Soo, let's what will happen...
