"Display Simulated" They didn't even bother to round the corners of the screenshot to make it look like it was actually on the screen...

I personally think this it is pretty hot. I like the full keyboard, but really appreciate the 'phone first' attitude.

It would be better if it were to natively run Word and Excel like its PPC brethren though. I don’t think the size is outrageous at all, and I currently use an SP5.

Same here. I also like that it is truely a phone first. I love my Dash and the newer QWERTY Smartphones. I still like to use my Smartphone for checking emails and checking stuff, don't like to do any heavy text entry. That is why I like this phone first design. If I need to type in a message, I can pull the keyboard out.

The second reason is that I find the Dash / BlackJack / Q too BlackBerryish. I hate to look like one of those BB carrying guys. Plus I think these devices make you look geeky. I prefer the laid back phone approach with the stealth keyboard. ;-)

Default I WANT ONE!

If this device ships with HSDPA, where do I place my order? Let's see...I will use my TyTN for Heavy Duty service, my VOX for the balance of my business day and my STr TRk for weekend duty. KEWL!
