I have to say, that phone - ugly isn't the only word really. it's just bulky, and cumbersome.
I'm curious, does Apple hold a patent on using a touch screen keyboard in a phone? Do any other iphone styled phones use the same type of keyboard? Because if Apple holds this patent and others can't use that kind of system, it really is incredibly inconvenient for competitors. They're always going to have to fit a keyboard with buttons in there somewhere, they're going to want it to be a full QWERTY keyboard of usable size, and it's going to lead to bulky, inconvenient gadgets like the one pictured above.
I've never been fond of sliding phones, phones with twisting parts, etc. and this just steals the show in terms of trying to offer people a large screen, something similiar to the iphone when closed, and a full sized keyboard. Does it even have a touch screen?
- dude, it's like $35 bucks a month and it's got a built in phazer... what more could you ask for???robotron3k

- No. All Windows Mobile phones have touch keyboards as well.. you just need the stylus to use it.adev
