It definitely doesn't look like a cheap piece of plastic. It looks nice and sleek. I know you might just be taking the piss, and even if you're not your opinion is fine. But it feels more like a nice piece of tech, which is how most tech sites are treating it, rather than just a cheap gimmicky toy. 

It feels like a toy and misses many essential features that we have come accustomed to in actual tech gadgets. It is a toy that has one specific purpose. It would be an insult to compare it with something as technologically advanced as a smartphone. Though a lot of it doesn't have to do with the technology that is inside it and rather what the platform holder is doing, or not doing, with it. I mean it's a pretty bold move to have a bluetooth capable mobile device that does not allow you to couple your bluetooth devices with it.

I will consider it not a toy once it delivers technology that is from this century.

Except the tech it has are all from this century. It looks and feels more modern than a Wii U or a 3DS and has been pretty stable outside of a few duds that have been noted online early on in its life, like most consoles. I mean, at least it doesn't break as easily as an early Xbox 360. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
