Not feeling the Palm love (at least the look), but the HP looks svelte (sp?). I hope the HP device isn't just a concept render, as I haven't seen a smartphone that smooth looking in a while.

As far as specs go, while I like the HP for it's looks, I'm really used to my landscape smartphone screen now especially for gps navigation and mp3 playing in my car, and I don't feel that that is handled as well in potrait mode.

I agree - I really like the landscape screen and find it awkward when I have to use a portrait device. :cool:
