This phone looks really sexy, cant wait to see the specs. It looks like a Touch HD, but will be running Android.

I saw that post at Engadget too. Very sleek and sexy indeed!

While I don't like the thickness of a physical keyboard, it sure would be nice if they could make one of these slim devices with some sort of slide out keyboard.

I know I would use the onscreen keyboard if I had to (I did on my Sprint Touch/Vogue) and did fine, but now that I have my TP, I find myself using the physical keyboard more and more.

I think with a screen that big, so long as you could type in landscape no one would really 'need' a physical keyboard. I'm sure they would still want, but that's another story.

So you think the specs will be similar to the Touch HD, or more along the lines of the new Omnia 800Mhz Beast?!

At first i didnt either, but then i was wondering why i thought it had looked like the HD. Then i realized.
