Hmmm. Not sure if this is the nail in the coffin for me or not, considering I just got the above paragraph in via copy/paste. Can't imagine not having it.

Also, no manufacturer UI customization allowed? I don't use xbox at all, have very little interest in social media as the main focus of my home screen, all devices will have the same three button configuration...Will wait and see what develops but I don't know guys...

Screw M$, I'm getting me a Supersonic in June. Now I see why Sprint didn't go after getting the HD2....
