I think it looks pretty great... much better than the BlackJack and BlackJack II.

I don't think it's ugly at all and I'd prefer it over the BlackJack II--granted it had US support, of course--, that navigation system sounds crazy hot, I mean, an optical touchpad on a phone, in addition to its more than passable feature set.

And, c'mon, let's look at the brighter side of things: at least it doesn't look like something that escaped from Palm's design department (no offense, Palm, love y'all, but your designs are a little worse than terrible, though they getting better).

+1 on the not ugly... and rather attractive (for a WM phone) ...scale. Wish it were US-bound and had the original specs - 256MB RAM & 2GB ROM. O well, in good time...

Newbie Q: Why's the triband GSM and single band 3G an indicator it isnt US-bound?
Benson Leung @ Nov 4th 2007 1:20AM
The short answer k-y is that AT&T, the largest GSM provider in the US, uses the 850 and 1900 mhz bands, with predominant usage of the 850 band in most areas. Tri-band phones support 900/1800/1900, but lack the 850 band.
The same is true for UMTS/HSDPA. AT&T's currently deployed 3G network relies on some oddball (compared to the rest of the world) bands.

I wish this would be the Blackjack2

As a current blackjack user (got it the 1st week it became available), I can assure AT&T that I will not 'upgrade' to the BJII that they are planning to inflict upon the US public. Now, if they want to sell me a Quad Band version of this i780, I will happily pull out my credit card.
