Haven’t looked at the specs… but isn’t this the same exact phone, except you can’t hide the keyboard? whats the point?
some want the keyboard on the front w/out having to slide it out
Good looking phone. With the exception of having the Mogul, TP, and TP2, I prefer to have a front facing keyboard now. The screen size for me is not as much of a factor to me when it comes to the front facing kb. WebOS and Android look great now and Palm just might have a customer back (they lost me with the Treo 800w. I was disappointed.)
