meh... Its ok, but I loved LG's GW990 much better, especially the screen. Gimme a T9 OSK with predictive text, that extra wide screen so my OSK doesn't intrude on precious display space in either orientation, a 12 mp Carl Zeiss cam with continuous HD video focus, and a capacitive screen and stylus.
Not sure how much battery I'll need, but its big enough that it should hold a 2400 MaH cell...
Its just a reference design for them to show vendors who may want to develop on their basic setup. And being an OS agnostic device with no default OS, I think their claim sticks. First open model. I hope this is how devices in the future are sold. Sell me hardware, I pick an OS, and BAM!
