Pushing out that hardware in 2009 will make the phone nothing special, as pretty much every WinMo phone by then will have VGA, HSUPA, etc. Hell, HSDPA, GPS, and Wi-Fi have already basically become standard stuff on smartphones. Here's to hoping that's a typo. The specs would be common-place by Feb 2009 and would make this phone nothing but a WinMo Sidekick.
This also bothers me as a T-Mobile user, for the reason that this is the ONLY UMTS1700-capable phone announced that is not useless.
