#20 (J-RoQ)

That 1st one does NOT have 2 "S". The bottom corner is a "$" (dollar) sign. And as stated above, the "Z" and the "Y" keys are switched, due to it being a GERMAN version keyboard. They use the "QWERTZ" keyboard, instead of "QWERTY" like the United States.
Quad Band means it has 4 GSM Frequencies, so it can be used all over the world (if unlocked)

850mhz
900mhz
1800mhz
1900mhz
Audi R8:

1) Yes, i don't have the name offhand, but you can search google for terms SSH Blackberry, or check the site http://www.handango.com for software. Although the 8100 probably will not be on there for a while, just use a 8700g to look for software, should work the same.

2) No, SMS is not like a "CHAT PROGRAM" .. although, i'm not sure how the Treo looks like. You have a "MESSAGES" icon, and your SMS and EMAIL get sent into there, and you can view them in there.

3) No, this is a GSM product. As of now, it is locked to T-Mobile, Eventually it can/will be unlocked, but that would only work with other GSM providers like Rogers, Cingular, Fido, etc.. Verizon is a CDMA technology and would not be compatible for this phone.
It probably will not have a camera at all.. they would have mentioned if they had a better camera......

they are most likely leaving it off due to security concerns at some companies, that do not allow camera phones in the building.
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!"
