I imagine a few people are wondering what this phone will be like.
Well, T-Mobile have kindly set up an emulator for you to play with.

Check it out here

Thanks for that.

I quite like it !

I know its just an emulator and i shouldn't base my opinions right off that, but i really didn't like it. Felt clunky and generally annoying to use. The keypad where the home button and the call buttons are seems unneeded imo. Why not just incorporate them into the the touch screen and just have the QWERTY keyboard?

The phone could be fantastic, but unfortunately the fact it's on T-Mobile is enough to put me off even thinking about it.

Experienced terrible customer service with them, but mainly because the signal seems to be useless for T-Mobile everywhere I need a decent signal (Home, work, girlfriends, etc)

I nearly experinced the same, but turned out to be fairly good CS.

Hopefully it won't be too long before some other manufacturers get in on the act and start using the Android OS. An HTC mobile could be very good, as could an SE smart phone.

I think I like the OS, so long as it's that fast.
