Clear influence of Surface design on Lumia 630

[ininjam]

I just realized this today, but any of you noticed how the design of the Lumia 630 greatly resembles the Surface desgin, with a mixture of sharp angular edges and rounded corners? I wonder how much influence the Surface design team have had on the Nokia team since before the merger, and this kind of unified design aesthetics is going to be the way forward for Lumia devices.

Now that I think of it, it does look more like Lumia meets Surface.

A lot of people are going to mistake it for an iPhone when they look at the front, though.

Reminds me when a man asked me about my Surface Pro, He said. "IPads now has kickstands?". I laughed so hard at that. Gotta ask how's your Lumia 630 that you have?

It looks great, feels great, and works great!

I haven't found anyone who mistook this for an iPhone, but anything can happen in this world!
(That said, I'm making the software keys as cyan as possible to avoid exactly that. Windows + cyan = win!

Speaking of design, do you guys know if more replacement covers are planned? I'm asking because of the colors.
I got an orange version, because frankly it looked the best in promotion pictures but the stuff I got ... well let's just say I don't have the neon fingernails color to match fortunately it came with a replacement black cover, so I'm using that for the moment. However, I would not mind having a colorful phone ... just not neon.

I think so, especially if it sells well.

Seriously, though. This phone is selling like hotcakes, so I'm counting on extra backplates/shells for the 630.
