K-500, K-50, and Q7 are all real. Guess you are sleeping. :p
K-50, K-500, and Q7 are now official. I guess we all have to sleep sometime. I think this is a rather uninspiring update personally. Nice to see a k-r replacement finally though.

Well it won't make calls or let you send sms, if that's what you mean, but definitely you won't ever get the same IQ as the smartphone except on some few situations.
I can't put old C-mount lenses on my phone.
