Not that far off from the iphone 3g actually. For some reason, it does look a lot bigger though.

Also, I really like this phone. I hope it comes to Sprint, so I don't pull a GT35 and go buy an ipwn.
my gf would be happy as hell if they came to sprint and she would have $xxx.xx less in the bank

Yeah Gizmodo has some good reviews, it looks like a pretty solid device, but has some downfalls right off the bat (not unlike when the iPhone was first released):

Sprint and T-Mob were the first two US carriers to get on the Android bandwagon, so it was always assumed that they'd be the first to adopt any such devices.

I'm just hoping the T-mob exclusivity isn't that long.

I'm guessing even though it will be "locked" to T-Mo, this won't last more than a few days after developers get their hands on it, and it will be unlocked for AT&T.

1)
Video: There's no video playback at all right now
2)
Miscellaneous: You've gotta have an SD card for any kind of music or video playback, once the latter arrives—there's no internal storage for media playback
3)
Finally, it's locked to T-Mobile.

Yeah, device is sim locked to t-mobile

but, they said they have no problems with people buying the non-contract version for $400 (IIRC) and unlocking it after 90 days.

Since their appstore doesn't have any controls on it too, there is sure to be an unlocking app on it soon.

T-Mobile Restricting 3G Data Usage to 1GB a Month Without Penalty
http://gizmodo.com/5053832/t+mobile-...ithout-penalty

I wonder if this cap applies to people who may or may not be using an unlocked 1st gen iPhone with the $5.99 unlimited data TZones hack on T-Mobile?

Cap without penalty?

Ah, I get it, cap without monetary penalty. Once you go over 1GB, you get limited to 50kbps or less. lol.
