I agree, I have a G1, why would I pay $500 for the same phone in essence. I too would like to know what that "Bright Lights" is all about. Although if T-mobile says this is their flagship device, where does that leave the Touch pro 2, which is coming out on 7/22, so wouldn't more people be inclined to get that phone since it has better features, and an actual keyboard? I just don't get it
