Picked one up on in Crystal (ipod) white on EBAY for $429 plus 39.95 shipping direct from HK. Took only a day! (Expansys is riping us all off by the way)
Anyways, the phone is everything I was hoping for...after waiting so long since the first Engadget post introducing the phone to me. QWERTY learning curve was exponential and now I type as fast as ever. Its working well on T-mobile and the GPRS is doing well enough (wish I had UMITS or at least EDGE though).
Its true that the Symbian OS laggs on the phone a little, but no more than my SDA. The one gripe that I have is the lack of applications currently abailable. I am still looking for the killer app. There is no BlackBerry connect as of yet. And I can't seem to get Google Talk to connect to the IM+ app that includes Google as an option.
The web browser works extremely well, especially with the touch screen. And the video/audio playback is great. You still have to deal with yet another proprietary memory stick format, but right now its scalable to 2gb....great for some music via bluetooth headphones.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Finally a phone that inspires me!!!
