- I agree with the reviewers that it is not attractive; however, a phone like that I would probably have it in a big leather pouch/cover to protect it anyway so visual is not much of a downer. I think it is a great first step but I rather wait for the next version. Not having Microsoft Exchange is not an end all because soon, developers will be able tie anything into that platform. The platform is by far the biggest sell, not the hardware or the fact that it is with T-Mobile who are so behind the curve in terms of 3G access levels. I mean Sprint is about to be 4G!!! I want one but the main thing that deters me is the fact that T-Mobile caps your usage to 1Gb per month and the data plans are a bit excessive. Additionally, T-Mobile is still in 'beta' stage in terms of their 3G network. I do not live in an area that I can benefit from by getting the phone early. I am holding on to my Nokia E61i a little longer thanks.
