	Yeah, it's neat, but ... 2 year lock in, no add on slot, non replaceable battery, no GPS, soft keyboard, and yet another platform that's fond of lock in? Meh. Would be nice to see something really ground breaking, like a more modular design, because it's basically the same old when you get past the flashy interface (specially if you're not Mac dependent).

== [[Nokia N95]] ==

This is the perfect device. Except no touch screen. Why do they torture me? <s>They should also have made it 20g heavier for a longer life battery.</s> I ordered it anyway, since it'll be the 'best' (intentional compromises aside) all round for the next 6 months to a year.. [[Nokia n95]]

== FIC Linux phone ==

== Glofiish m700 ==

This looks great.. a bit bulky but has all the major checklist features, and it looks like nothing with next gen features (higher res screen, usb host mode) will be available for a few months.

I especially love the name. It means you can easily find it on net searches.

As the reviews come out, predictably its flawed. The camera is awful (yes, this is important to me), GPS sofware spotty, bugs bug bugs.
