Does anyone know if this application will share the 3G internet and function as a modem. My guess is yes but looking for some validation on that hunch.

XD

Duck, is the front camera there or not? There looks like there’s something right beside the speaker in the pics (even the pic on the spec sheet) but it’s not clear and the tmonews logo covers that area in what would be the best shot to see it in. Or is that just an air bubble under a screen protector? Did that phone have a protector on it? Light sensor?

J-Hop, “mega-pixel” has to do with SIZE not QUALITY. I really wish people could get this straight. I have an old Fuji digital non-mp camera that takes better pics than my sister’s far more expensive mega-pixel camera. What would be pointless is wasting a mega-pixel camera for video conferencing. The image just doesn’t need to be that big. I think the real reason some people want that front camera is for self portrait pics for myspace, etc., and a 0.3mp cam could still do a good enough job for that.

docprego, if by “integrated” you mean an app, then there is one for Handango and it’s called ‘Handango In Hand’ and a link icon for the download was included in my WinMo 6.1 upgrade from T-mo for my Shadow. And for the rest of you app freaks there are plenty of sites where you can DL apps right on your phone, with tons of FREE ones. How many free apps can you get in your app stores or marketplaces, really? Those things, including Handango, are created to suck the $$$ right out of your wallet.

And, finally, the color. If I know T-Mobile, and I’ve been with them since it was PowerTel and Voicestream, they will probably come out with at least two color options, although maybe not at launch. It’s become evident to me that they seem to gear one color option for the ladies and one or more for the guys or whoever. I, personally, would like to see one with a black face, matte grey ‘rubberized’ or whatever you call it (like my copper Shadow. I love that. no scratches) on the sides & back, with a darker grey keyboard. I wish this one was darker, it looks like brass or a matte gold to me, rather than copper. But, hey, I’ll take what I can get. I’m after function.

And, Mjason, just how did you get your hands on one in the store when they haven’t even been released yet? I have trouble even finding a working demo of any phone in the t-mo store, rather than a dummy model. (which ticks me off to no end when I want to see one function) And is that $299 retail, or with a one or two year contract? If that’s the contract price, it means I won’t be getting one until next year when it drops.

And, one thing I see that I don’t like. Those raised volume rocker buttons are going to be a real pain.
