Looks fine to me in that video, although the camera on the back looks odd being black with the silver back.

Dont like the notch at all the more I look at it - they should have ended the screen below it - the 'ears' look silly

Yeah that notch at the top is absurd - maybe back in the motorola days it was acceptable, but why do it now ?!?! just put a bigger bumper at the top - or a thinner one and spread the components across the entire width of the device !!! got to make sure the screen is at least uniform - silly apple.
Best we can hope now is apple changes the software to make the phone finish below the bumper as far as all apps and use goes - just keep notifications, time, battery on the ear, dont let apps roll around it.

So we can pick it out in absurdly low res paparazzi images and get excited over it
When do network providers release phones/contracts to preorder? This will be my first time after many years going back on phone contract (due to discount I can get through a friend). I have previously bought outright from Apple and sorted my own SIM only contract. I've registered myself on to the waiting list on EE but there's been no further details.

I actually like it. Yes, it would be better if the screen went all the way to the top but I prefer this way rather than a large bezel at the top.
I echo that. I don’t think it will bother me, much better than the current iPhone range with the borders.
How unoptimized apps will look

That safe area at the bottom is kind of lame. Why is it so large with the keyboard?
Barely gives any extra room on the canvas to work with for productivity or communication apps that require typing.
So much wasted space between the globe and the mic.

Ergonomics in the way you hold it and where your thumb is.
Yeah, I suppose that makes sense. It wouldn't feel right having it that low thinking about it now. Still slightly disappointing that the actual working screen area is only fractionally larger as a result of that and the notch. At least the keyboard toggle change should be a nice improvement. I wonder if anything else useful could have been put in that big blank space though between the globe and the mic.

Very useful link and has finally made up my mind to not go for the X. My main priority is for a bigger screen than the 4.7 I have now and the X doesnt seem to be much of an improvement. Looks like I am jumping ship and getting a S8 instead.
