Depending on the RAM this might just be what I've been holding out for! How does this keyboard work though?

Interests:The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

Beautiful. Still love my original Touch in spite of the speed. Thinking keyboards may be the way to go as well. This fits the bill nicely!

How does the keyboard work on these devices, is it T9 in style? or standard text entry (multiple presses of the key to get what you want)?

It's predictive like a blackberry, which BTW is probably the only thing I ever liked about the BB's.

For phones: T-Mobile G1, HTC TYTN II, T-mobile Dash, I-Mate Jam, Mitac Mio 8390, Motorola A630, Nokia N-gage, Nokia N-gage QD, Motorola C331g.

For the car: Air suspension, ICE, I/H/E setup, more to come later. . .

For guns: ICS M4 CQB Pistol, KJW Sig Sauer P226, maybe a M14 EBR or G36K later. . .

Now only if I could afford modifying my car and my mobile phone addiction. . .ha ha ha. . . uh oh add airsoft to it too. lol

I suspect availability won't be immediate, as it's 'Q4 products' announcement...

I think the screen on the Touch Slide actually looks to be 2.6", just like the rumors have said the latest time. If we say that the Wing's is 2.4" (as big as the Vox's screen), then on the comparison photo between the two of them I'll guess the Slide's is about 2.5"-2.6"?

BTW, looks like this Slide thing is going to be the perfect replacement for my SP5m

Me want!!!

Can someone describe how the T9ish does work? If it is predictive then it means that there is a dictionary in use. So for people often writing in different languages they would have to switch the dictionary in settings. Or people who are used to enter specific words which are not in the dictionary.....oh gosh if it is really a dict-based system then it is not very different to the default T9 which I don't like - I like FREEDOM :-)

Superior Gadgets (the one who took the pictures) says the following about GPS in this handset:

"Even it has the same chipset as HTC Kaiser - we didn't find it as of yet, however, GPS Tools are present in the ROM, so there is a hope that GPS could be (will be enabled)."
