Once again, the States resume being the country of vanilla phones...w/ chrome,

Please keep in mind that the majority of cellphone users aren't techno-geeks, and ppl are more style conscious than tech; why do you think the RAZR is still around?

Everything just flows better with capacitive screens, because added pressure isn't needed, so flicking through pictures, song selections, web browesing, most things are easier to do w/ a capacitive screen. Plus, less moving parts result in a longer lasting screen [unless you completely smash it of course]...

$600+*

I just want this phone...like now. Hopefully Att does pick it up, but if not, I will gladly pay the $600 for a unlocked US version. I'd just have to save up. But wow, just the fact that it keeps you so connected, and enables you to do so much with the software makes me wet my manly panties [boxers]. I think 3.2 is the perfect size for the screen, and I'll pass on the Touch Pro 2's keyboard =/, just hurry up and get the Hero on a shelf in the US of A...

oop, there you go.. get the $30 data add-on, save your arm and your leg...

I think it's a decent offering; a smart phone for the average joe. Anyway, the screen is small because they were probably trying to keep it at a certain price point. The form factor, eh, it's different, different is good, but I'm not a fan of slide out keyboards. The required $30 data plan is put in place because when it comes to smart phones, they're data oriented- email, transfers of pdf files, so on and so forth-and only smart phones are required to get a data plan. Hey, the way I see it, I'd rather have that extra $30 added onto my bill, because with Att, you get charged .25 per mb over w/e is on your plan, if I remember correctly, and when I use data, I easily use 5+mb per session, so add that up, in a day I'm already past $30 worth of data usage.

I hate them too >=[

Kid's thumb is mighty small, that all I have to say..
