Ultra Smart 700 is an iPhone killer?

I agree. I love how the iPhone keyboard dissapears when you don't need it and changes to a standard dial pad for #'s and qwerty for typing. I also realy find it alot more fun to type on the virtual keyboard.

Well for it to be considered an "iphone killer", one would think that it needs to be avalible to the masses. If they are only over seas then less people will get it, hense it can't compete with the iphone.

I disagree. The F700 will not be available to US in the short term. Yes it's packed with features, but at the expense of a bigger size. It's rather bulky. Many of the additional features can be added to iPhone (I hope Apple will do it rather soon) via SW upgrade. Of course, the lack of 3G is one of the greatest shortcomings of the iphone and one which requires new HW. Overall I'm pretty hapy with whatI got. SW updates need to start coming rather soon though.

This looks like a well refined take-off on the HTC 8125/8525 design. Seems like designers have to choose between 3G or WiFi because most devices don't offer both. As cool as this is, it lacks our necessary gsm 850 - so we won't be getting it.

Personally, for the first time since I got my first Treo 600, I'm not constantly searching for the next replacement device, so at least for now, I'm set!
