All VZW need to do now is offer a cheaper rate plan because these kind of handsets won't be subsidized.

Motorola's getting all the PR because they probably paid VZW $20M in market development funds and HTC didn't. Just a guess, but that's the way VZW works - you pay, you get to play.

Virtual keyboard? Can't find any links to show how that works, or if search is supported - apparently you can make notes according to the web site.

It's not a review - it's an Opinion piece.

OS 9 for me on a green Dvd iMac. Never did make it to 10...yet!

Yep, this is me.

T-Mobile has a few phones that use 3G but they're not advertised as 3G because they're just voice phones. I'm sure that'll change when some data-focused phones come out, like the Android one later in the year.

I had to click through three articles before they stopped telling me I knew what this thing did:

"Not that you haven't seen ZeeVee's ZvBox in the flesh before..." - er, no I haven't... click

"We don't have to tell you where the goods are, but if you're new here, that read link down there is a good place to start." - ah, okay, yes, you do need to tell me because I do not know, but I'll bite... click

"As many of you know, ZeeVee is getting set to launch their $499 ZvBox (pre-order at Amazon) that essentially creates a remote PC link/experience to any TV in your home." - Okay, great! At last. Could you have just put one sentence at the start of the article saying that?

Jusrt some decoding for readers, a lot of these phones have FURUWAIDO VGA. That means Full-Wide VGA which is 854 x 480. Why? That is exactly 16:9 aspect ratio, so it means that WANSEGU = "1-Seg" TV will fit on your KEITAI=mobile/cell phone screen perfectly without any black bars anywhere.

Years ago there was a book published called "Flash Enabled". It was excellent, it was inspiring, it made me go out and write games in Flash for mobile devices. But Macromedia sucked at getting Flash onto devices. They were flush with success from licensing Flash Lite to DoCoMo (or docomo now) and wanted to get $'s from every handset maker to get Flash on their devices too. That killed it dead outside of Japan. Years later, Adobe has just started to get it out there. Pity it took so long. But then again, the platforms are a bit more powerful, and that's never a bad thing when you are talking about Flash. My game code written in Flash 5 might run on these things, although I used crazy Actionscript tricks to eek out performance, so I'm not so sure. Either way, I've moved on. Let others try and grab that market!
