I like the design of this one, at least from the front, which is all we can see for now. The specs also look good. Although I am not too fond of Android, I’ll keep an eye on this one. As usual if this one comes to India, I’ll be one of the first few to handle it.

NO! I shall run away to some corner of the world and make sure no one gets to see it. *evil laugh*

The “ANDROID” part is the only interesting part.

^ Yep, but the specs are also pretty nice.

I must agree that the SPECS are AWESOME and the cell has nice curves and the Android OS makes this device a beast!! Honestly it is the most funnest, networking and reliable cell on the market, whatever you wish for someone will construct an app and walah!! From Microsoft Word, Excel and etc, to just about anything. This OS is definately the dominating the market!!

(correction)…This Android OS is definately the dominating force in the mobile market!
