Yeah, although I certainly would not call the handset humdrum, I will say that it's a disappointment in the radio department: it lacks 3G. For a flagship handset in 2008 that's simply unforgivable.
Seeing pictures of the device, it's actually making me want to get it. I actually like the design a lot and that camera looks like it's serious business. I know it has WiFi but I am not sure if it's only for file transfers or if it can be used for web browsing, too.
If it were reasonably subsidized, I'd definitely recommend this to people looking for a powerful phone without the need for 3G--let's face it, not everyone needs it, especially if it has WiFi as described above....although for a flagship device, it's exclusion is a big mistake.
