    Wait wait, this is the one running Windows Mobile 6.5? THE Windows Mobile 6.5?! Windows Mobile sucks. Its slow, the interface is rubbish and it drains the battery like theres no tomorrow. Wouldnt recommend it.

    EDIT: Just saw a nice review from Gizmodo which pretty much sums it up

    Even behind the very convincing disguise of a modern phone, Windows Mobile is lagging well behind its competitors in terms of new app development, fast OS development and general user experience, and by the time you get your hands on this phone—and just as importantly, by the time your contract is halfway through—Windows Mobile 6.5, Sense or no Sense, will feel like a complete dinosaur.

    have to agree on the WM6.5, but he does say that its the best WM phone out there. I actually love the way apple did it, just has one OS and upgrading it... Not gazilion phones and 2 gazilion versions of OS...

    TBH if you're interested in a phone that matches an iphone, go for an iphone (:P), a HTC Hero or the Motorola Droid when its available here. The latter of the two are much smoother, and much better support for apps and customization.

    Im looking forward to seeing what Windows Mobile 7 brings onto the table though :)
