Its coming to AT&T late summer 08 (which really means winter 09). Its got 5mp camera, Windows mobile 6.1 and all the glory of Samsungs GPS nav (better than Iphone). Not sure about the FM tuner or transmitter?

What pisses me off is phones like this should be on Sprints network. This thing is 3x better than the Instinct! The instincts browser blows!

Alot of people despise it. However, I never found it to be that horrid. I've use almost over OS for mobile phones and WM was not even close to the worst. Palm's on the other hand But to each his own. Granted WM did get sluggish sometimes, but other then that no real issues.

I haven't used WM since 5.0, but I was constantly doing battery pulls and the screen orientation would lock up and leave tracers on the screen. You have to manage memory fill up manually, but it does have its benefits over other OS's. PALM is the worst IMO. Im a Blackberry geek myself, but would like to see what WM 6.1 can do.
