Also, for those asking about video capture, I'm sure it will be avail ... it's an open platform, so some type of program will be made to enable it ... kinda like they've done to get MMS on the iPhone ...

But it's righthanded... hmm. They could have made it ambidexstrous easily.
If T-Mobile had better coverage in my area, I really would consider this phone. Clearly it's designed to be a personal phone and not a business phone (unless your business uses Google Apps). Over time, I expect it to gain more abilities.
