why does haptic feedback make it more user friendly - seems unnecessary for the keyboard, but vibrations for games may be cool.

@spbergquist: Exactly. It's a gimmick.

@alsheron: I would think that being able to use it sans touch screen is sort of a plus for a phone, but it makes me wonder how well the touch screen works since he seems to avoid doing so.

LindsayJoy's MBP is into S+M

Considering it has the 850 and 900 gsm bands it sure seems "states ready".

As long as there are no crazy restrictions on using the app store, etc...I can see a fair amount of people buying and using this unlocked on T-Mo or ATT.

@LindsayJoy's MBP is into S+M: Well it's certainly a more tempting device for that. T-Mo's got jack squat on the interesting phone front, and the retail stock is just sad. Nothing but BB's and SK's everywhere. (Not a fan of the G1 hardware)

Oh, wow, that analog watch looks impressive. I see they took some ideas from the amazing Vista gadgets sidebar. Really useful and inovating stuff.

If you are suggesting that desktop widgets are not useful than I don't even know what to say to you.

@chefgon: Okay I'm going to explain. No I'm not suggesting that desktop widgets are not useful since I use quite a few on my dashboard, I'm actually mocking the fact that they so prominently display that watch as a distinctive characteristic of Android and how stupid that is since you already have a clock up there in the bar, and how that resembles what Microsoft did with Vista's sidebar.

It doesn't have HTC's Android 'chin', thank goodness, but lacks the 'nipple', which could have gone where the OK button is. Still, having had several Samsungs and liked 'em (voice quality is good, which y'know helps with a phone), this could be a contender.

@Linux chief hardware engineer: Actually it's quite the competitor. Just because you don't particularly like the product does not mean that others do not find value and use in it.

It is an open cell phone platform that any manufacturer can develop against and use. Which is a huge step towards being able to write standardized apps and services for cell phones. As of early last year Motorola had to develop for as many as 7 cell phone OSes.

The iPhone, while very nice, is not the end all be all of products for everyone.
