                It's about time an Australian phone was put out there. I think it will be very successful, and I can't wait to own one. :)

                  I love the specs of this phone phone, and the price is less than half you would expect, but I just don't like these sort of phones where the QWERTY keyboards are in portrait, I would buy this phone if the keyboard was a slide out and in landscape like you would see on the X1 or G1. I wish they could release a model like that :/

                        It does have 624 MHz processor, 258MB of ROM and 128MB of RAM.1300 mAh battery, which should be functional for 400 minutes of talk time, and approximately 300 hours in standby.
                        Spec can b found on Sn traders, or http://xrl.us/ozmf8

                          Wow. Damn it's cheap. Here in Finland all the touch screen phones (like iPhone, Omnia, X1) cost over 800 US dollars. So... Wow.

                              Seeing one of these with US 3G is probably completely out of the question. For the money, though, this looks like a really promising device.

                                  If it comes out and is really $250, I'll buy one for myself and everyone in my family. To those who are hating already, I challenge you to find a better deal with ALL the same features. Post them here and make everyone's day. Ready? Go

                                      A really cool looking phone in the same vain as the nokia e series phones with the qwerty keyboard but with android reason for cheap price all the money grubbing middle men have been taken out and by passed.
                                      Well done.
                                      will be buying one

                                        Thats probably like the best deal on the market right now, only $250 USD to get a phone with both wifi and gps?! win
