Anyone seen FCC filings on it? Otherwise I'm not holding my breath. There seems to be quite a bit of "we're definitely getting it" but not enough proof. The website isn't sufficient proof because anyone can buy a URL and put some content on it. I certainly doubt Verizon would want it pulled down either if they found out about it because all it does is generate publicity for them. Are we actually going to get this phone this year?

This was a hold out incase the moto droid did not do as well as expected. Since the numbers look to sail past 1 mil they will wait to release this to pad the q1 numbers for 2010.

As much as I prefer hard keyboards, I would love to have more screen real estate even more. However, the soft keyboards would require the swipe typing capability such as the Samsung Omnia II is reported as having.

A lot of people's dilemma: the Droid is amazing, but it's not the iPhone. However, AT&T sucks and it's not worth committing to a two-year contract with a failing network. Keeping my eyes open!

My fingers fly over the virtual keyboard on the ipod touch/iphone BECAUSE they don't have to press actual buttons and i'm no less accurate when i type on the virtual keyboard then i am on a physical keyboard and that is just on the portrait keyboard. don't even get me started on the landscape keyboard. I would accept a phone as thick as the Droid without the physical keyboard if they used the extra space for a bigger processor, GPU, etc. That would be a beast of a multimedia phone.

I didn't know that. But yeah, it looks like a really dorky design. ;) Re:"Qwerty keyboards are old school." I couldn't agree more but I think you're going to have a hard time convincing everyone else. :) That's actually one of the reasons I didn't get a Droid. I know I don't have to use it but I would rather just not have it there at all. I have an iPod Touch and I'm pretty fast at typing on it so I have no issue at all with on screen keyboards. Plus, you can type in landscape or portrait whenever you want. Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don't. Interesting. I didn’t know that. But yeah, it looks like a really dorky design. ;)

Which is also probably why they are raising the early termination fees for smartphones as well.
