buy the real stuff you cheap bastard

I would be the geek that would carry one of these as a primary phone if it had a decent signal reception (my Samsung Omnia i910 has been a bit of a disappointment).

Unfortunately, I am one of those "heavy" 3G web users. I liked the idea that flash lets me stream hulu, and Netflix on my phone would be great. Unfortunately, Verizon and AT&T has begun the trend of limiting in-phone bandwidth usage. 2-3 of netflix for 5 days is 3GB, so looks like getting one of these for me is now pointless.

What an intriguing way of showing a product before it was launched ! As a matter of fact, because one is not distracted by the software, we get to concentrate on the physical aspect of the phone in detail. Well done !

i have tested one out in the o2 shop in and the keyboard is fine for me, maybe because of my big hands but smaller handed people would struggle.

nice vid btw!

i wonder how Dells hardware matches up to yours :P

thanks for posting this, i was really wondering about the dimensions of the device and their impact on everyday use... the numpad does seem kinda awkward, like you said there should be an option to turn it off. i do want the dell but i'm curious to what microsoft got up their sleeves with 7s, im gonna have to wait and decide.

[unclepain]

Yes, the new Microsoft OS seems like a nice departure from the old Windows Mobile interface, and that's a good thing. However, I'm not sure I can wait until September/October time frame for some decent 7S handsets to come out. Plus, it looks like they'll be playing catchup in the app department for a while, but I'm sure that will change over time. Thanks for the input.

You a a freakin' god of ingenuity. Also you probably have way too much spare time on your hands. Sweet use of it though.
