this phone is more or less launching on tmobile next week. it is the stripped down version, and runs windows 6.5, but i was talking to the tmobile rep the other day at work and it is going to be a awesome phone even though its running windows. It comes preloaded with both transformers movies, which you can watch both of them on one charge. also it has a new typing method called swipe, that lets you type without lifting your finger off the massive screen. it uses predictive text to figure out what your trying to type. the sprint version looks better in every way though. dont know how much id use the front camera, but an 8 mp camera would be worth paying whatever crazy price tag sprint puts on this phone. although the Tmobile version is only 149.99, so maybe it will be like 200 for the sprint version. i think this phone on sprint could be the best cell phone out there for a while.
