Well, to start with, it's a dual slider offering both a full QWERTY and numeric keypad depending upon your need. Next, it packs Bluetooth, a 3 megapixel camera with flash, and a 262k color, 3-inch, 480 x 272 touch-screen display. It brings pretty much all the audio and video format support you'll need and microSD to store your goods. It features a Flash UI with document viewer and full HTML browser all bundled in a sleek 104.8 x 53.7 x 17.4-mm piece of kit. It even features dedicated hot-launch keys for TV (DMB?), Internet and Music. Alas, it's only tri-band GSM / EDGE and 2100MHz HSDPA. Still, pretty smart when it arrives around September. How you like them apples, Apple?

Ah, pardon me while mop up all this drool.....
