It's got most of the good features of the BJ-II (but with the addition of WiFi) and a touch screen which works really well in this format. The D-Pad has been replaced by a weird touchpad which I don't find as usable but it's a personal thing I guess. Specs on the phone are good - it's powerful enough to feel responsive, yet the battery lasts long enough to be usable. I agree it's bad that it takes so long for devices to get to the US... gotta wonder what the delay is - carriers, FCC, lack of demand?

i’dlike to be offered newly released winmo devices, not american versions of devices released elsewhere a year ago.
