So whose hands are those in the review picture up top? What size are those? The Zune HD is WAY smaller than that picture depicts it to be. An iPhone would monstrous! LOL, sorry to poke fun but maybe next time pick someone with regular size hands (unless thats a woman, and those dont exactly look like a woman's hands).

Anywho, I'm guessing this one'll get thumbdown a lot soon anyway...
Hey Sarah. If you hate technology so much then maybe you should stop posting on blogs with your computer. Throw that computer away and cancel that iPhone plan you have, get rid of your movies and video games (which are far more of a time waster than a cell phone is).

Believe it or not, cell phones are very helpful. People make money with their cell phones, they avoid huge problems using email and sms from their cell phones. Air Traffic controllers have saved the day when comm to an Airplane went out while a plane was trying to land and did it with...*drum roll*...A CELL PHONE! People's lives were saved by a cell phone conversation, amazing.

Sarah plz stfu and cancel your internet subscription so the rest of us don't have to see your meaningless banter.
Fix the economy? Easy, get rid of oil companies and creditors...and fire obama, that'd be a start :)
where did you get this information?

The Verizon website makes no mention of it.
And what happens when you delete a picture? Oh yeah, you have to go and delete that log too. Oh and then when you're all done you have to embed all the NMEA data in the EXIF headers of EVERY image you've taken (thats a lot of post processing and over the course of a year would add up to way more than $300 worth of man hours).

The Blue2Can embeds the GPS data STRAIGHT into the JPEG file or RAW file for you so when you take your pictures off of your camera then you have no processing to do...you can upload them straight to Flickr or Picasa without doing anything to the image.

And so you know chef, they (Red Hen Systems) have a free tool called "Field Tools" that does just what Copiks PhotoMapper and Geosetter do but is much easier to use and far quicker at embedding the information.

But I have a question for you: what do you do if you take RAW photos and want to use those? I'm guessing you have to process those to jpg THEN process the Geotag data in (and you just have to hope that you didn't get off on your log count versus your picture count otherwise ever picture past a where you deleted an image off of the camera will be wrong).

So its true (chef you're right) you can have a solution that is "far, far cheaper" but that is exactly what you'll have...a cheap solution. And in the long run, if you use this for business, you'll cost yourself thousands of dollars in man hours doing something the Blue2Can does for you. Plus they have a tool called "ISWhere" that puts the photos down in Google Earth for you...a really cool tool if you ask me.

The only way to geotag the pictures! Seriously this thing rocks. You can probably use this GPS device with it too!
first!

thats their first commercial? kinda...i dont know, lame? well i'm at least excited for the phone though! heft or not
Alright I can see how its being used. It still seems like an odd way to say a phone has been "revealed"
Grammar Alert!

Saying something has been "outed" does not mean that it was "brought out into the open for all to see" / "is now available" / "is now out." Instead it means something entirely different. What you are saying is "they got rid of it" / "they threw it out...as in, to the trash."

Please stop saying something has been "outed" when it has been released. Honestly, I really like Engadget but I can't sit around and read something that reads like an 8th grader wrote it. Please write well!

Thank you, and thank you for the post!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
