we're threadjacking, but....

* the battery is built-in, just like with the iPod. you can't carry an extra with you and swap it in. if it fails, the device goes back to apple.

* the battery life is going to stink. nobody believes the numbers they're quoting and their track record on battery life (iPods) stinks.

* the software is locked-down. no third party software development.

* no support for MS Office documents (i, like many, need this in my smartphone for business use)

* the lack of a tactile keyboard is gonna be a real challenge for us types who live on blackberries and treos.

* no wifi or bluetooth syncing (huh!?!?!).

for starters :-)

again - i'm still #1 on my cingular store's list, but it's not a prefect product by any stretch.

doody.
