My 5800 sounds best when placed on a desk. I think it's possible that the side speakers are designed to reflect off a more solid surface. The quality is amazing compared to my previous phone. (Or then it's just a lucky side effect)
Face-speakers will always be better.

Let's face it.. this whole screenshot-fest is preaching to the choir for most of us.
What I'm interested in is seeing how many of you were on the fence or weren't going to get it before and now, after seeing the screenshots, changed your minds. Or even people that were planning to, but saw something they didn't like and now won't.
Anyone?

2. Will it be available without phone features/contract?

I do NOT want to pay this obviously inflated price to suffer with a piece of radio I do not want to use or be stuck with a contract to a service provider I do not like or want.

interesting how it stacks all the wireless tray icons in a 2x2 area, i am guessing that the two way transmission icon is the phone radio, and that there will be a gps icon along with them when its active.

As for the availability without phone features and contract--that's the main point (#1) for me. I do NOT want to pay this obviously inflated price to suffer with a piece of radio I do not want to use or be stuck with a contract to a service provider I do not like or want.
