Going head-on against the iPhone with this device is a huge mistake in my opinion. If they were going to do that they should have nixed the keyboard, which pretty clearly was added just so they can say it has a keyboard - yet they made it shoddy and flat to still be slim enough to compete and thusly the design is MUCH less sleek and more boxy.

I just don't get it... I guess time will tell and maybe it will give Apple a run for it's money. But from where I stand Verizon is in a great position to make themselves look very silly and give the iPhone lovers more ammo yet another opportunity to point and laugh at yet another manufacturer trying to beat them and falling flat on their face.

This is almost as funny to me as the Obama Administration going after Fox News, and in effect they are doing wonders for Fox's ratings. This phone and it's ad campaign could actually INCREASE iPhone sales. It's apples and oranges, in my opinion.

I so hope I am wrong.
