It's worth noting that the Touch Slide has a slightly different keypad layout to the HT1100 - notably, the inclusion of SureType on the former. Specs-wise, we can expect it to pack a 400MHz CPU, 128MB RAM, 256MB ROM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G, and Windows Mobile 6 Professional. Now, who here wants one?

Original Touch has great form factor and really nice design, but it's also slow and underpowered.
This one looks to be much better deal. So it's basically a tradeoff between Kaiser with it's slide out Querty and Nike with design and form factor...

I think I found the perfect device for me. If all things reported holds true and with the size of the unit this will be the ultimate device for my needs.

As far as GPS goes pdadb.net shows GPS on the Nike.

I have had a HTC Touch for a few months now and LOVE it!
The slider plus upgraded cpu, ROM and RAM make this extremely attractive yet I have heard it does NOT have WiFi... which makes it a deal-breaker for me.

Yep, the Dual Touch is now on the front-page of the site. HTC's official product page and product flyers make no mention of Wi-Fi, which is a real shame.

With 3G and 3.5G support why would one need WiFi, anyway WiMax is around the corner anyway.

Skype works just fine on 3G use it on my OQO 02 on a regular basis.
On some devices under some circumstances it even works with EDGE, you can hear the other party behind EDGE just fine most of the time but not the other way around.

The more convinient way though is to get unlimited SkypeOut account and fwd it, you can also check out www.soonr.com they have interesting solutions on how you can even initiate a call from any device with a browser.

Oh I almost forgot this is a relatively new application available for MOST JAVA enabled phones, doesn't even have to be "smartphone" as such

And yes it is natively run and does NOT require your Skype to be runing!

Then there is this solution but I have no info/experience with it:

Financial reasons: not every country has well-priced 3G plans. There are many who still prefer the convenient and cost-effective solution of Wi-Fi around the home and at the workplace, and would instead prefer to leave 3G for when they're on the road.
