now thats nice! it has TmoUSA & AT&T 3G also.. but will Tmo actually subsidize this? they are apart of the WP7S Circle of Companies

  WOW!  That is a good looking phone!  I really hope that the Thunder has aws too.  Gotta love the Thunder and Lighting names.  Good for forum arguments, what's better, Thunder (Android) or Lightning (WM7)...

Thats the mystery phone shown at the Microsoft event for WP7.

Spec shows a microsd slot, which is supposed to be a no-no for a WP7 phone (per Microsoft).  Microsoft change their mind, or messed up spec?

I think Microsoft messed up as there are special options for Memory Cards in the WP7 Developers kit.

mmmmmm yes indeed that is sexy, but its not made by htc so im not buying it.

Looks like Dell is trying to be a player in the smartphone game, between this and the two Android phones leaked they are definately stepping up.

If I had to pick which phone to get for my birthday, get drunk and lose it at a bar, it would have to be this one.

Sorry T1 but I am buying this phone as well.

DAMN!! hello sexy!!
4.1 inch screen 1gb ROM 1gb RAM 1ghz processor
Im drooling
Hopefully it comes sooner than the fall. If it does come then then Im scared it will be outdated by then with the talk of 1.5ghz processors comign to phones. Oh well we will see.

From what I remember reading about WP7, manufacturers can use microSD for storage but you can't exactly remove it. If you try to remove it, you're going to be screwed WP7 stores a lot of things on the SD card. I can't remember if the OS is loaded on the SD slot too.

I dont think ull be screwed & I wouldnt understand why they'd load the OS on a MicroSD. Hopefully it has the same bootloader.

Im just not sure about wm7 yet. It looks unorganized and crammed. Plus I hated the interface on my buddies zune.

As for this device, it's very impressive but why would you make a physical keyboard if it's going to be flat with no differentiation for the keys? What you get is the Droid's keyboard, a flat piece of mush to type on. Making thin phones with keyboard is usually always a bad idea because the keyboard ends up taking the sacrifice.

Not a fan of portrait keyboards. Landscape, full 5 row qwerty keyboard, HTC  raised style  is the best IMO.
At least the hardware and design are very appealing.
Q4 might be too late for these phones to make a real impact, a June release would have been a lot better.

Me likey, I might have to pick this one up, even though it's not a Nokia.

I STILL wish the N900 was released with Android.  Well, at least as a dual boot, since I have gotten used to all video codecs, full MAME support, Playstation, Duke Nukem 3D, Quake, playing Flash games off-line, etc

Plus, Game Gripper is coming to the N900, since the maker emailed me to confirm it

Well, as long as Nokia improved the 2G radio in the N900.  Weaker radio than the already weak Nexus- bleh!

I went to a htc event in L.A I talk to one of the guys there who used to be the editor for phonescoop.com now he works closely with HTC  we had a small conversation he said he doesnt think windows mobile will be out this year. I was a bit surprise not because I cared just because people will loose interest by next year.

Announced today, this phone is beautiful...
