Nice size

though I don't see how it would fare well against the current and upcoming competition.

These smartphones are still a tiny market. The Treo 600 and the sumsung clamshell models are possibly the only ones that will attract non-PDA users since they look like regular phones.

The lack of a keyboard is a major let down.
