apparently everybody missed the Motorola that will be running embedded with 6.5 on top. it's supposed to be out this month, unfortunately only to sprints business lines.

Ive seen the announcement of that device back when WP7 was announced...but I guess recently sprint and AT&T decided to hope on...

Though from what I read it uses a PenTile VGA and a 600mhz processor...and a really high price tag...aka unless you plan on fighting a war with that phone your better off with a TP2.

Sprint shows off three new Android smart phones

I received an email telling me that Premier customers get access to the phones 4 days before they're officially out (release date: 10/10/10). The Transform is $150 after $100MIR but man does it have an ugly and seemingly useless keyboard. Still no word on the 4G tax being applied to it.

What we call a 4g tax won't necessarily exclusive to 4g devices IMO. Sprint refers to it as "Premium Data" which makes me thing that it may be a fee standard to a lot more devices than those whose name ends in 4g. That executive rep was quotes as saying that premium data is for phones with big screens and fast processors lol. I hope I'm wrong on this but the big S has definitely shown signs of increasing fees and making changes :/

BTW I saw the Transform the other day and man is it hideos in comparison to the Epic! Even the keyboard is somehow worse, which is a feat thought to have been impossible just a few weeks ago D:

The "Premium Data" fee is different than the 10$ 4g Device fee..
The "Premium Data" fee was a way for Sprint to get people on Sero and SWAC plans who were paying nothing for their data plans to pay for data.

Users on these plans have to upgrade to a premium plan +10$ AND pay the +10$ fee everyone else pays to have the 4g phones

Lets keep the conversation to upcoming phones and away from the ever present "fees" discussion.

Thanks! Eerie.
