We’ve highlighted the Emblaze First Else smartphone several times over the last year here at GS. The hardware wasn’t anything to write home about but the software was truly some amazing stuff. The First Else featured a UI like none other before it, while managing to pull off easy navigation to boot! Nailing both aspects so well (especially for a first timer) is pretty rare.
