          1) this qwerty keyboard is one of the worst.
          2) It has the same features with N97. Only 2 differences: better cpu, worse keyboard...
          3) N97 came in the shelves many months after its announcement. So, wait this one in 1st or 2nd quarter of 2010...
          4)N97 (in Greece) costs 670euros. How this thing will cost only 550euros...? xaxaxaxaxa... This would be cost at least 650euros!!!

                I was waiting for this so much long.
                But I hope the clock is near the ~=800mhz
                It should have at least 256mb of ram. 128mb no way!!

But spec and design wise, this just isn't special. Why the excitement? Much older HTC devices, including that one with the swivel screen and large keys was far more impressive. The older Nokia tablets were nicer looking too.

                      Come on, we need revolution! High res screen, decent keyboard - with number key row and D-Pad, genuinely useful OS and apps.

                        Be interesting to see what Apple have to say about the little application deletion crosses [X] next to the desktop icons.

                        What is point of this device? How is it better than the N97? (Yes, it has slightly better specs, but it is not lightyears ahead of the N97 or other smart phones.) These clunky devices that don't fit in the pocket (such as well specified but oversized early HTC devices) have never taken off. For all their flaws, the iPhone and Nokia 5800 sell well because they are versatile and slip into your pocket.

                                    This looks like a consecutive Chinese replica. GSMarena is that source verified ?!?
