I knda like the design of this phone... I know I have read a lot against it, but it really is nice to be able to use a keyboard to type in short messages - kinda like a RIM device.

I can't remember if the device is SDIO and Bluetooth - can someone refresh my memory on that? It doesn't seem to mention eitehr one of those capabilties on their web site. Shame on them for making a phone like this tha would not have either feature...

For sure, there is no Bluetooth. I haven't heard anything about SDIO, so I'm uncertain about that. Also, no camera. :cry:

I'm trying to hold back judgement until I see some reviews (or get to review one myself - Sierra, anyone listening?? ) before I rule it out. The lack of Bluetooth is a large hit, but the addition of a keyboard might offset it.
