"The P4000 is essentially a CDMA version of the 8525 currently offered by Cingular. Since it's a newer device, though, it improves a little on the GSM version with a considerably thinner profile and an assisted slide. The P4000 for Telus has an unfortunate d-pad that feels cheap and is tricky to use, but HTC often changes such things on versions for different carriers, so we hope the US version(s) will improve in that area."
As to who'll be carrying this cousin of the 8525, there isn't any confirmation yet, but Engadget
whispers that it'll likely be Sprint. Doesn't look half bad, does it.
That said, Phone Scoop reports it'll initially come with WM5; let's hope that carriers get some sense and actually ship it with WM6.
