T-Mobile says this will be available in April at a price of 460 Euros with 24-month contract. I <i>really</i> hope HTC will market this as well.

I had one of these (in an 8GB version, the X7501), and thought about using it as an eBook reader and larger-screened GPS (I use an HTC Touch as a cell phone). At the end of the day, the unit was just too heavy for one-handed use for anything longer than short periods of time. Personally, I'm sticking to my Loox 720 from way back. If people want it as a mini-laptop, that's an option, but the weight for one-handed use is significant.
