It doesn't have a removable battery. It will NOT support 3rd party applications. There are NO expansion slots. No additional memory or removable memory. It can't sync over wifi, even though it has wifi. No 3rd party apps means it never will. It doesn't support exchange/outlook And this is supposed to be a smartphone? Looks more like a dumbfuck phone to me! Wow I just realized a few more things about this phone.

No 3G though, and somehow I doubt if it'll be unlockable (at least for the first little while). They are launching it in Europe and Asia too though (so you may be able to unlock those).

It's actually GSM/EDGE. So that is smart! Still, unless it can be unlocked, still a waste. Also you have the price issue. Without a 2 year contract it will surely be over $1000 So not a complete waste of time, but they just didn't get it quite right. Wait, I read on some press release that it was CDMA..

The screen size is smaller, but the resolution is the same. Also, to make it CDMA-only is just retarded. Unless you never plan to travel, ever. And if you go to one of the few countries that use that network (Korea, Japan) it won't work because of different network bandwidth. And it's exclusive to Cingular. That means that if you're not in the US, you can't get it. And if you are in the US but a place without service from Cingular, you can't get it. And those prices include a 2 year contract. So really the phone is more like $800-1000 If they made a more open, GSM/3G version, I would consider it for sure. But this thing is nothing more than... well, nothing... It's just a waste of time.
