I agree, but worry about 2 things.
-Capacitive sensing with your face on it. Software logic better be good -Battery Life, which has sucked hard in the past. -------------------- Southern Rock, beer and bears!

definately looks cool though. Most of that stuff won't be of any use though unless you have a huge web access package on your cell phone though. I think I get like 5MB a month or something like that, then it's like 10 cents per kb, I would get raped using that thing to browse the web.

Speaking of ass rapings on mobile charges....anyone else have Verizon and feel they are payin just way too much in monthly charges? I get 900 anytime, unlimited night & weekend, 500 incoming and outgoing texts, and $5 phone insurance for like $92/mo. Its a little too damn pricey IMHO. When I had Sprint, I had unlimited texts and a 1000 anytime (although I had to stay inside Texas or New Mexico when using my phone otherwise its roaming) for like $60/mo. I switched to Verizon for better customer service, but I have had them for only 8 months, and my bill has been screwed up 3 times already.

I get all that for 50$ a month minus the insurance with cingular, damn that's a rip. |

I hate having to listen to all of my voicemail to get to one message. From the get-go you would think that the phone companies would have thought, "hey, shouldn't this work like e-mail". -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

The data packages for smartphones, pda's, and blackberry's are a lot higher. The cheapest they go is like $20 a month and the unlimited data for blackberry's is like $50 a month. That doesn't include texting. -------------------- LANCE IS PRO-CENSORSHIP! HE IS CENSORING MY LOVE FOR THE LORD!

all the sprint phones (including the PDAs, like my PPC 6700) are $15/mo for unlimited internet access to your phone. this does not include the ability to tether your phone to your laptop to provide a connection for the laptop. and no it doesn't including standard sms text messaging. cingular is different, they charge something like $45 (like jrock said) and their plan includes that tethering ability.
