I really don't know who HTC is trying to target here.

At first, I went "Wow!". Then I realised the limitations. The main one being the complete lack of onboard memory. Seriously, if you want this to take on a certain other full touchscreen phone, you need to match it's capacity.

The resistive screen is a downer as well, especially with no D-Pad. Makes gaming useless and impossible. :(

SDHC slot means you can add up to 32GB.

I'm not sure I get your "the complete lack of onboard memory" issue. I'm sure like every other WinMo device it'll have a decent set of ROM/RAM...512MB/256MB or something pretty standard - hell it has to have something to run the frickin OS. It's got microSD so I don't see the problem. I'm still surprised that devices do come with a certain amount of onboard storage. I would much rather have an expansion option like microSD so that I could add the amount of memory I needed. And that amount could change significantly over the life of the device or just based on what I was going to do that day or weekend. With a 5MP camera (maybe even decent video recording quality), I could see photos & video eating up space, especially when a special event comes up. I would hate to have to remove stuff from my permanent onboard memory in order make room for recording long video clips. I'd rather simply swap microSD cards and keep rollin!

Full disclosure: I own an LG KS20.

I *know* that the SDHC slot means 32gb microSD's. But my point is: for a multimedia phone [3.5mm jack, finally!], we should have BOTH. It's just as grave an error as the iPhone's *lack* of a memory card slot.

I'm not talking RAM here, I'm very happy with the figures posted. Blows my KS20 out of the water :)

The point is, this is supposed to be a multimedia phone, and it still has big flaws that I hope are corrected by launch.
