So lame that the 'Tilt 2" doesn't have a 3.5mm headphone jack.

AT&T customers waited so long. Every other carrier released theit Touch Pro 2 long before AT&T. T-Mobile was teh first to release it, several months ago, and they are the only other carrier to NOT have a 3.5mm jack.

But be happy AT&T customers, you have a push to talk button! Seriously, does anyone subscribe to AT&T push to talk? How stupid is that?

Well, I guess we can map that stupid push to talk button to the camera or WiFi or something...

I'm really disappointed in AT&T. Why did we have to wait so long when we didn't even get the latest hardware?

The keyboard on the Wizard has nothing to do with this keyboard.

Look, I can pretty much promise you nobody is going to open the keyboard to dial a phone number. All phone numbers will be dialed using the dialer on the huge screed. It has nice BIG buttons to dial, looke EXACTLY like a phone keypad, gives a nice vibration feedback when you hit a button, and it isn't ackward to do (unlike sliding out and then dialing on the hardware keyboard).

The numbers on that AT&T "dial pad" are offest- not like a phone.

I would definitely prefer to have the keyboard the same as a computer keyboard (numbers across the top, hit the "shift" (or function, whatever) key for the symbols. Just like it is on every computer I have ever used.

There is no sense "faking" a phone dial pad when we have a real phone dialer on the big screen on the front (with boigger buttons and vibration feedback).

AT&T dropped the ball on this one. And anyone who has used the European version of the Touch Pro 2 (and I have, I own one) will happily verify this.

I challenge all of you to find me 1 person that has used the HTC keyboard and actually prefers the AT&T. The only people saying they like the AT&T layout are people who have never used the original layout.

Trust me, hitting ctrl+c and ctrl+v is great (on the original). And being able to hit numbers without using a function key is also great. The only thing AT&T got right is adding the OK button.

It's unfortunate AT&T screwed this device up. They really should have left the keyboard alone. I have 2 major questions/concerns...
1: Why does AT&T screw up a nice color scheme and keyboard?
2: Why doesn't HTC sell an unlocked version with North American 3G bands? People on AT&T should be allowed to vote with their wallets. That is the benefit of GSM, right? So why is HTC stripping North american GSM users of this benefit?

Does this thing not have a flash? Come on HTC!!! Would it kill you to throe a flash on there? I am not fond of the D pad being removed also, but the flash is a must have.

Give it a flash, a D-pad/joystick/tackball, a camera button, and a 3.5" jack, and this would be perfect. Hopefully they add all of those in before it gets released.

I want to win this Slingcatcher...

Does the Blackjack have a touch screen? I thought it was running Windows Mobile Smartphone or whatever it's called, and not Windows Mobile Pro?

This is just Qualcomm trying to stay relevant. Now that Nvidia's tegra is looking awesome, and HTC is going with Tegra, Qualcomm had to make a move to stay in the game.

I want that spy pen. that thing is awesome. I don;t know about paying $100 for it though. if it was like $15 I'd buy it, no question about it.

I really hope the new HTC devices are running this Tegra system. It looks way too awesome in every imaginable way.
