i dont like this fone and am sending it back. the touch screen has a delayed response, so picking up the fone and making phone calls while driving is really difficult. i have the g1 which has a non touch screen call button which makes the g1 more practical, i was waiting for this fone to come out so i wouldnt have to get at&t but oh well they have a good thing going that clearly cant be beat!
