I'm no guru...

I'm all for alternatives to the iPhone, but the screen on this thing looks like it's made of cheap plastic. I dunno, maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me.

That's awesome how the device has handwriting recognition built in. I never had this feature on any phone I've had and am curious of how long it would take to teach the thing...especially if you have...creative penmanship.

I also like how there's haptic feedback so you have the physical response to ensure whether or not you've actually selected something.

But getting back to the screen, it looks thinner, almost as though it's closer to widescreen dimensions when put in landscape position. Seems this would be a pain when using the phone in portrait mode, in terms of fitting things on the screen.

But this is definitely a phone that I'd have to hold in my hands before buying. And I wonder which carrier is going to get this phone. Would be nice if it went to T-Mobile, but this one has a Verizon vibe to it.
