Surely windows phones are not for the hip young and trendy, I always classed myself as boring with a boring windows phone where I could install an emulator, burn my old PSone games and upload it to my phone etc... |

| Re: Anybody else eagerly awaiting this? I don't quite get how the above comment relates in any way to mine, I did not mention the iPhone or WinMo. I actually used to have an XDA and very much liked it for the emulation and office tasking capabilities, but I think Android is currently the best smartphone platform available, if not quite having the range of applications available for iPhone, or indeed WinMo.

I think this one has everything you can ask for in a smartphone whilst being slim and very stylish.

| Re: Anybody else eagerly awaiting this? Too big? I don't think the Palm Pre is any bigger than the blackberry you have been looking at, and the HTC Hero isn't exactly a big android handset, I think its an ideal mobile size. Ben |

| Re: Anybody else eagerly awaiting this? I am so glad us in IT have finally taken over mobile phones where I work or the prick that did would have ordered a few of those, handed them out to a couple of users and then told us we are supporting them. "In a perfect world... spammers would get caught, go to jail, and share a cell with many men who have enlarged their penises, taken Viagra and are looking for a new relationship." |

| Re: Anybody else eagerly awaiting this? I like BlackBerry, but I think they need to step their game up with the design of their phones + make them a lot thinner for christ sake! If Nokia can do it RIM surely can as well!
