    I’d get one if i wasn’t locked in contract with asuck&suck… seems like a perfect merge of blackberry and android… this could shake up the “business” world… not so much this particular device, but if the format catches on, to truly bury blackberry… unless RIM steps up the QNX OS and fires back…

  • Seabass

    I like my Captivate and my 9700 and I think BB would make this look a lot sexier this does not look very appealing. BB should make this size phone w Android on it.

    What’s up with “mail-in” rebates? I think even Sears stopped that, S&H green stamps and layaway like 20 years ago.
    How about just instant, or e-mail rebates. Mail-in rebates? GTFOH
