3. Like Droid and Nexus, you must remove the battery to get to the microsd (lame).

If Verizon (bailing from Tmo- coverage sux where I live) makes a device like the N900 (keyboard, 32gb bulit in, great sound amp) I will buy it in a nano' second

BTW, Verizon US is releasing the "Incredible" in a few weeks-ish with a few upgrades over desire:

1. 64mb more ram
2. 8gb built in media storage (better than nothing)
3. 8mp camera with (apparently) a decent image capture speed
4. Last but no least, the microsd is accessible without removing the battery

Still no keyboard
I wonder if there will ever be a device that fits everything I desire. Nokia has the hardware (though it could use about a 4 inch screen and combine the accuracy of resistive with the finger friendliness of capacitative) and sufficient openness of the OS (though I still wish more things were open). But Android has the apps and the future as the dominating platform in the future. If only the two of them would combine. *sigh*
