Honestly, if it came in PINK I would still be looking, drooling, and trying to find a buyer for my 6601...... :wink:

I took fine arts 101 in college and I think that photo is a little misleading. I forgot the term, but taking a picture like that makes the parts closest to you look really big while the parts farther away look really small. It adds depth to most images/paintings. I want to say 'forshortening' but I'm not sure. It would have been better to have the fingers holding the phone towards the front of the picture, it would have given a better representation of the actual thickness. Just my two cents.

I really really like the hardware design of this unit.

I prefer the silver one though.

The one thing I think should be changed is the location of the windows and OK keys. I think they should be located where the two softkeys are right now. This would correspond with their placement within the WM5 UI.

While it would be easier to push the two softkeys if they would be right next to the joystick.

Of course I am out of luck as a european. And I think the GSM versions are by far less stylish and also quite underpowered with their 200 Mhz processors. :-(((

Although the pictures might not be 100% accurate, but its at least 50% thicker than my JAM... dont think i can get used to, if i will have a PPC that thick then the HTC UNIVERSAL is the perfect choice!! :way to go:

Magician: 108.2 mm x 58 mm x 18.2 mm

Apache: 4.5 (112mm) x 2.5 (62.5mm) x 1 (25mm) inches

Its only 1/3 thicker. ;)

It's a tad think but I think I'll have to see it first. It's nice to see Sprint getting another PPC because I feel that the don't get the "cooler" or feature rich phones like T-Mobile or Cingular.

I have a friend whos wife works for MS and said that October (the launch of WM 5) will be the month of all the Smartphone/PDA stuff. Of course, we'll probably know what devices are available well before then thanks to the guys who comb the FCC website.

I like my Dell but I'm interested in how well a converged device will work for me. This might be able to entice me to try...but only if the battery life is good, which I'm guessing isn't going to be the case.

What are all those funky circle things on the back? (I know at least one has to be the camera)

Looks like Camera, Flash, and the ole' reflecty bit so you can see you can see your own mug when taking self portraits.

Hey, does Singapore sell PPCs in English? I will be going there about the 7th of OCtober, and if that is when they are released, with they be there? I would love to get a HTC Universal!

They sure do. In fact, you'll find most of the electronics in Singapore to be in English, by default.

Yeah antennas really bother me too, they are one of the reasons that I would never want one of the currant Treos, well that and the operating system :lol:
