I was drooling over this until I saw that it excluded U.S. 3G and EDGE. Then I realized it was not even quad-band. I can't even begin to describe my disappointment. The wailing and gnashing of teeth was audible up and down the block. Yet another mystery to me is the keyboard. Why not just license SureType from RIM? It works well on the Pearl Blackberry model and almost certainly would be better than introducing yet another hybrid keyboard design, one that seems to me to be poorly conceived IMHO. There is just too much missing from this model to consider it a flagship mobile.
