Woop de friggin' do, another asinine "slider" phone.
It is incredible that vendors are wasting design time and money on desperate blunders like this, when we still can't sync our contacts, calendar, tasks, and memos properly with phones that have four times the memory of a Palm device. Earth to Motorola: GIVE US A THIN CLAMSHELL PHONE THAT SYNCS WITH OUTLOOK AND PLAYS MP3S. We need contacts (WITH ADDRESSES), calendar, tasks, and memos from Outlook (and possibly other major PIMs). No, none of the current phones offer this.
For example: What you want to bet that this phone STILL doesn't have addresses in the contacts? It has the GPS that we were all forced to "upgrade" to, and surely your service provider will try to sell you location-based services... but where are you navigating when all the addresses you had in Outlook are MISSING from the phone?
Not to mention that non-clamshell phones, "slider" or not, and just plain dumb. They expose the screen to damage at all times.
People, don't vote for this garbage with your dollars.
