Since the real gist of project black seems the roll out of HSDPA+ and the plan (which may not be for smartphones) it seems like they can get more people based on that and phones like this just add to it.
Sorry to be a little off-topic here but I have a serious question about smartphones:
What would be best phone for texting for a 63 year-old woman losing her voice with so-so sight. It would primarily be for texting. It's for my mom who is not doing well.
@OMG! Ponies!: the Palm Centro seems to be choice of the overall consensus for older folk due to it's simplicity - other than maybe check out the HTC fuse too although it might be "too many bells and whistles"
@RenegadeIrishman_IsFullOfStars: No, all you have is probably the most advanced of all the cell phone OS's underneath (true multitasking, native copy/paste from day one, etc.), but which is behind in the interface department. So, you take TouchFlo3D, which is an improved interface, and put it on top of Windows Mobile, which is the most advanced underlying OS, and voila. You now have a phone more powerful than the iPhone that also looks and works as good or better (in most ways). Not even the iPhone has a 3D interface.
@badasscat: you cant just slap an interface on an OS without it being coded for it or It results in poor performance and integration. I'm not a Microsoft hater in any way I just think their phone OS is way outdated. I didn't mean to imply that they were incapable, merely that they were late. I used humor though, so as to entertain the masses.
@Jules Winfield - Grabs gun and jumps under table ... Whats with these apple Fanboy's? My Winmo, Blackberry, Simbian, Android, (any other generic OS) has been able to do this stuff for years.
iPhone OS 3.0 just gave the iPhone a lot of improvements, yet it doesn't put it near the capability of Web OS... I don't get people. Never have, never will. Web OS gets copy paste and background and push on its first release. GO PALM PRE.
@pettiblay: i think a lot of people underestimate the power of a fully operational SDK. the PRE may look sexy now, but Apple has a major major head start on the application layer.

The whole unlock thing with 3G is pointless anymore.

You can cover it up with touch-flow all you want but all you've got is a painted turd of an OS

I fear WebOS and the Pre may be too late to save Palm and/or they're going to screw up the pricing/availability/product enough to kill it.
Today's announcements are a big step in the right direction for the iPhone but I still think Apple is trying to retain too much control over it.
And I just can't get that excited for WinMo 6.5... and I like Windows Mobile (Pro, smartphone can go to hell).

Please, Android, cometh quickly... I need a QWERTY smartphone from Motorola that I can enjoy in some way shape or form!
