Before you start flaming, you should do a little research yourself. First, the Micro SD isn't going to make the phone faster. But hey, try putting a 200 gig Cutting the RAM is the main issue as Verizon is making it harder for the phone to run multiple apps (or just run the big ones smoothly). Just having an 8gig expansion or up doesn't solve the low flash memory. The programs have to run off the phone's flash memory, not the card memory. That was the issue with the VZW Pearl; with almost no flash memory, everything non-essential had to be erased or you'd start losing call logs and texts. As far as the GPS issue goes, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I've never seen an unlocked smartphone GPS option on VZW. I've yet to hear about anyone breaking it, but I wouldn't be terribly surprised if someone found a way. But I do know that they don't ship with unlocked GPS. I'm not trying to start a flame war, I'm just a little disappointed that someone so opinionated would be so uneducated.
Maybe Bell is just picking the whale up before releasing it back into the wild so the whale will have something to twitter about.
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!"
