Rogers does indeed support that speed.

And that's the single reason why I'm not selling my Bold, ever.

They could give you crap changing your address. Most sites won't even let you use a different shipping and billing address for fear of fraud like you found someone's credit card and want the phone shipped to your own address.

Here's a good sample of Steve Jobs and Apple's Hype of... just about anything... great parody

Markham (where I live) and Yonge & Eglinton (where I work) so are you sure JP?

Have you been hiding under a rock for the past month?
The N97 official price is $700 and is already cheaper on Amazon...

The Engadget writers have their lips around Apple's proverbial dong (Stolen from http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=iphone ). I'm quite a Mac fanboy with computers but the iPhone is too flawed for me to look past those flaws and join the love-fest.

I would too, but throw in the OMAP3 and 256mb of RAM to really make it worth it. :buddies:

Slick is the best IM client for 5800 atm. The little notification in top right corner is great. It also uses the least amount of data for updating buddy list and sending/receiving messages. The alert tone is discreet and not annoying, either. Fring is the worst on all of these areas.

I really like the way Nimbuzz works though. If Nimbuzz could let me edit away messages, and have popup notifications, it would be better than Slick. But until then, Slick wins.

Was in NY the past week and got to play with a demo unit at the flagship store.

-Build quality was good, felt solid, slider felt good
-Much faster then the tube in terms of navigating menus, music player
-Really liked the physical qwerty

Weird thing is the keyboard didnt light up so it was hard to type effectively. Hopefully this gets fixed for the launch.

 

[checkers015]

ooops ..... read info wrong fought n85 had 3.6 screen . now no why less expensive .

 

[Kunmui]

The 6650 is $49.99 after rebate on AT&T in the US.

 

[twi-girl]

I can live with that. I hate having menus that need more than a page to display so I'm constantly moving icons from one folder to another in order to keep them all under 12

 

[eudaemon]

I just glanced through that page again and spotted the info. Hopefully Nokia USA preorders ship before amazon!

 

[TruthBox]

No kidding. People are amazed at how I T9 while holding a conversation with someone else. Making eye contact of course.

 

[Kunmui]

ha, found it

lol, to add a little distraction to people and transaction issues

 

[Daikaotikao]

sweet. Its here! Time to play with it and see it live! Anything you guys find that is best to get/try first?

 

[alkix1312]

I think *this* is the funniest video of the N97. Where the guy just put the phone down for a minute, and it gets bomb rushed by photographers, loll

 

[Kunmui]

We all know what happens to rushed products! :lol:

 

[yudencow]

Well right now we can only assume that it's not right? I don't think I've even seen the N97 playing video and today was the first time I even saw a screenshot of the music player.
