I was looking forward to this phone, becuase I wanted better browsing than the blackberry offers and a physical keyboard, but this phone disappointed me.
The display should have been bigger and the banana curve pop-keyboard is a non-functional design. The designeers compromised newness for practicality.
Guys, bring out version two with a bigger display and simple slide out keyboard, as wide as on the Blackberry Curve, with a display as big as the iPhone. You'll sell a ton of them to power users, who want to be able to quickly respond to messages and also be able to read pdfs and browse pages.

iPhone will need to come down in price,and ATT will have to lower it's data subscription costs for me to be interested in buying the iPhone.
