OK... regarding the networks choosen, this latest piece about O2 for the UK and T-Mobile for Germany... well, that just makes no sense!! the main reason being that O2 are only in 4 Countries (Ireland, UK, Isle of Man and Germany). why would the go with such a small provider and cut out it's main market.
We have 4 Mobile networks here in Ireland (Voda, O2, Meteor and 3(Three)), and the only one that's worth it's salt is Voda (with Meteor in second). If Apple choose O2 for the UK they will be severely limiting their Market, as i don't know anyone who would wish to go onto that network for the sake of a phone!

The actual display res on the 7088 is 160*128. while still not "extra large"... isn't quiet as small as teh 128*60 res mentioned above!

Just to correct you on this be the first TV with this out of the box.
the Philips 32 / 37 PF9830 came with motorised stands out of the box. It is controllable via the TV remote, and is a sweet ass feature and i use it quiet a bit when moving from my bed to my computer, being able to angle the tv directly towards me is just so handy...
Just thought you'd like to know...
