Just saw the price on engadget, 479, ouch. That is expensive. I think it's time for me to consider other alternative. I certainly don't like the placement of the dpad, but with the slide out keyboard, maybe it's not too bad. Don't like the camera placement either, I prefer the popout ones because you can turn it 180degree. This is not good for taking pictures. Resolution should be higher. But as far as looks goes, it's nice.
