I'm sorry, what am I missing. What's wrong with the specs? I take it you've never used or seen a slider phone before. My wife has a Samsung D807. To place a call, slide it open and start typing. There is no function button to hit. What's so hard about that? There are plenty of sliders out there now so adding one that also has qwerty is nice. I think the specs look great. Believe it or not there is a very large segment of the smartphone population that doesn't want a touch screen. The Dash, Blacjack, Q, 3125 all are starndard MS smarthphones and sell every well. This phone is smaller than my old SMT 5600 w/ qwerty. The only thing I'd be worried about is battery life. 3G killed the battery in my Blackjack. I'm probably going to get this when its available on AT&T premier and give it a shot.
