Want seamless integration into Outlook and Exchange server! (why is this SO hard???!!!!)
Want a great physical slide-out keyboard.
Want capacitive 3.5" with multi-touch.
Want GSM capability.
Want microSD card
Hey-Just take the HTC TouchPro2, add the Snapdragon processor, ditch WinMo
(nothing good ever came out of (nothing good ever came out of Microsoft) and add Android 2.1 with Sense. We'd be very happy. Sign me up for four years. How many business users out there are putting up with their lousy little "messenger" Blackberries? You could capture almost the whole market.

This is the problem it's not a question of difficulty, it's a question of diversity.
I like being able to check up on facebook occasionally throughout the day and the occasional game.
I hate outlook and do not want it on my phone ( nothing good ever came outta microsoft remember?)
Slide out keyboards add bulk and do nothing for ergonomics.
Verizon uses CDMA technology they will never have GSM phones. There are pros and cons to both. CDMA has greater range and penetration but the trade off is slightly lower data speeds. GSM is accesible world wide.
Lastly Verizon is always behind in the phone arena. It sucks but at least they get them unlike companies like UScellular who still have no noteworth winmo phones and no android at all.
