I just toyed around with on at the TMob store. I must say it was a well built phone and seemed light in the hand. Chrome rendered fast and clean. Super responsive. I would have to say that this really puts a squeeze iPhone because of the new iTunes emulator app that was developed.
Also because SanDisk is making a 128gig SD card. That will blow the memory doors off of Apple.
So I decided that this is the phone to buy and the data plan is cheaper than what i have now.
I think you've mixed up your Flash technologies. SanDisk might have a 128GB SSD drive, but that's likely in a 2.5" HD formfactor. SanDisk *just* released a 16GB microSDHC, the format the used in the G1, and they've announced a 128GB version is in the works for release in 2011, but now that they've sold a 30% of their flash fab capacity back to Toshiba I'm betting that will slip. The iPhone will likely stay at or ahead of the microSDHC curve for another couple of years, if only because they can fit more flash chips onto the iPhone mobo.
“The basic layout of the HD2 is uncluttered and uncomplicated, providing only a few hardware buttons, and leaving the rest of the navigation up to that beautiful screen.”

Nice job HTC, TMob and Google!
