This looks the business! • Great feature list (hard pressed to find better) • Great to see it has a Numeric pad (it's a phone not a UMPC - although only just) • a whole 8 hours battery life - same as my 2 year old HTC, which doesn't do half what this can do.
HP seem to have produced a well rounded and well finished product - finally getting back to the top of the game.
One issue that springs to mind is that the smartTouch wheel doesn't seem to work like a D-pad (no up-down-left-right-centre clicks) but I hope that could be resolved one day with a firmware fix. The ipod-like scrolling is great though.
