I was in Korea in June and saw this phone in person. It was fully operational so I expect it'll be in market soon.
It was one of the nicer phones I've ever seen. Clean, high end design that reminds you of a Cbanel lipstick case. They'll let you custom engrave the steel band around the phone as well.
Well, what Scottpoints out as requiremetns are the very reason why it is so hard to do over-the-top videos on mobile. It is not that Google, Yahoo, or AOL haven't thought of this, it is because the current phones do not have the standardization and apps ubiquitously available. This is also the reason why only the Carriers can offer this at the moment. I expect this will get fixed eventually as the phones get smarter and network speeds faster. But at least in the US, util the ecosystem changes, we are years off duplicating the desktop on mobile for videos.
"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!"
