    why does it have a 3g symbol if its rev 0

    • Vandebe

      really?

      Rev 0 is still 3G

    • Norm

      Verizon has the best map of all carriers and therefore the best 3G coverage. You’ve got to be out of your damn mind if you disagree. DROID FTW!

    yeah, cool toy for my little cousin; now what about something people actually care about … like the HTC Merge/Lexikon?

      Dante,

      There are people out there in the real world, ( not the boy-cave dwellers that populate blogs like BGR ),
      who would like a phone like this.

      Not everybody has to have the ” latest and greatest toy phone “, not in this economy !

      I’d like to see Android come to basic phones myself.

        If Android were to be on a said “basic” phone then it would no longer be “basic”. Android is a true oprating system with not-so-basic functionality.

    With the vortex comming with stock Froyo for free, i dont see the point of this

    Who would want a touchscreen-only phone that only has a 3″ screen? Early android phones were bad enough with 3.2″ screens.

    Just look how cramped everything is in that picture.
