- 'Push-Imap-Email' from Yahoo looks interesting.
- Great Screen
- Great size
- OS X is great and I wonder what it'll be like on the phone.
- Screen looks like a magnet for finger smudgies.
- I agree with Bev - no memory expansion is a bit of a drag.

So, who in Canada will carry this? i assume it'll be Rogers - what with it being GSM and the Rogers/Yahoo relationship, but Rogers has never sold a WiFi enabled phone.
it's bye bye windows mobile as soon as i can me one of these things. i suppose you will have to get an unlocked one. having used xp, and vista, there is nothing like osx. they don't even begin to compare. xp users don't know what they are missing. it is a fundamentally better computer experience all around.
i would bet apple is going to do a very nice job on this. the multitouch screen input will be something like nobody has ever seen.
i still think some people will prefer the keyboard model.
how they will get osx on this, i don't know.
i doubt this will be another newton. jobs refused to launch anything until now. and anybody who underestimates what this machine is going to be like should look at apple's recent track record.
