No. Why would I want people being able to see what's on my phone from the other side? People already buy screen filters to block what's on their one and only screen...we don't need a double sided phone now lol.

Lumia 1020 was definitely the biggest shocker of all. I still remember how I thought it would do great in the markets when it was first announced.
