I am more of an advanced smartphone type of user, but I can see why people like these. Looks like the keyboard makes emails and text messaging very easy.

In other words, it's a quite handsome device. The build quality *looks* great, will have to see it in person. Looks like brushed aluminum on the back, very sexy. I'm all for really sexy hardware. Many will say how lame WinMo standard is, but it's quite a fast and flexible platform. I almost prefer it to WinMo Pro (touchscreen) for its speed and general lack of having to go into icky old WinCE menus. But the plus side to that is the general openness of the platform, HTC and Samsung have made some really great interfaces on top of it. anyway, this phone looks the biz, and if it has US 3G i'd be interested. Dunno if it would replace my E71, I guess I'd have to see it to decide. I’d say that’s a pretty fair statement. In other words, it’s a quite handsome device.

The form of the phone is the same too. Other design details are quite different - the lack of a chrome border that goes all the way around. But from a practical point of view, the E71 form factor is highly praised and a WinMo version doesn't hurt.

Would've bought a Snap but I am now boycotting any phone without a 3.5mm jack. Not sure what this one has and just like with the E72 I'm not holding my breath for CDMA either. Looks really nice.
