This is an HTC device.

I'll be pickin this up when it comes out. Seems pretty nifty //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

that looks pretty nice. Have you seen any plans of them releasing a 3g version? AT&T is out of the question and tmobile isn't available around here.

That's badass! I love the face it has an actual keyboard. That is my only discrepancy when wanting a new touch screen phone of any sort. Only T-mobile huh?

Wasn't referring to tmobile, I was referring to HTC or whoever else is manufacturing android compatible phones.

Android is nice, but it seems a bit dated now. The touch buttons are kinda small, so unless you have a really reponsive screen, its not going to work very well. Since its on an HTC device, I doubt it will.

The sprint Touch Pro and the Touch Diamond have a better UI than that now, although drag and drop seems pretty cool. I'm pretty sure someone over at xda-developers is working on extracting the apps for use on other phones.

android is open source though.. no other providers open source their software, besides openmoko.

The important thing for me is how slim the phone is? Looks like something I have been looking for, full screen + keyboard ftw. But I need it to be slim also. My contract ends next month so I may pick one up.
