lol next they will tell us that is got an arm processor.. and runs windows mobile core...

... COUGH HTC Cough, Wizard, Herms, Herald, Athena, Kaiser, Titan...

its funny... one day long ago people used to buy a black berry because they wanted "email on their phone", which is so similar to apple and people wanting a digital portable music player got an ipod.

GIVE US MORE MULTI TOUCH !!

I tend to agree however i like it more this way because it gives the user freedom to use it freehand without worrying about mini keyboards and such.
