New model: Moleskine Reporter Notebooks

Moleskine Reporter Notebooks, MoleskineUS
Drool. Spanking new Moleskine reporter notebooks look really nice. Can’t wait to pick one up for myself.
Looks like they’re very similar to the old-school classic Moleskine, but with the flippable top-binding and a vertically-oriented accordion pocket. The immediate improvement I can see would be for writing in cramped places—like the top of your thigh while riding the bus. I wonder if the binding allows it to flip over completely without damaging the spine.
Anxious to hear what other folks think of these. Anyone tried them yet?

"Moleskine is a primitive notebook..." Them's...
“Moleskine is a primitive notebook…”
Them’s fightin’ words.
Seriously, I find them to be anything but primitive. They’re very well constructed, durable as hell, and as configurable as you want them to be. Mine serves about half a dozen different functions, and I’m quite a bit more organized since I got it. I didn’t get them either, until I got my own. But Merlin’s right: it’s mostly a personal thing.
The reporter model looks cool, but I don’t think I’d enjoy it so much. I’ve never found that style to be very convenient at all. Don’t really care for flipping vertically through pages, especially when I’m writing.
